The dataset was collected at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of root(NN)-N-s = 8.16TeV in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 30.8 nb(-1). The forward-backward ratio and the nuclear modification factors are measured together with the differential crosssection as functions of the Z boson rapidity in the centre-of-mass frame, the transverse momentum of the Z boson and a geometric variable phi*. The results are in good agreement with the predictions from nuclear parton distribution functions, providing strong constraining power at small Bjorken-x.", optnote="WOS:001035464000002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5665), last updated on Wed, 10 Apr 2024 12:40:35 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP06(2023)022", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.10213", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP06(2023)022", language="English" }
