摘要

We explore how nuclear modifications to the nucleon structure functions, shadowing, affect massive gauge boson production in heavy ion collisions at different impact parameters. We calculate the dependence of $Z^0$ , $W^+$ and $W^-$ production on rapidity and impact parameter to next-to-leading order in Pb+Pb collisions at 5.5 TeV/nucleon to study quark shadowing at high $Q^2$ . We also compare our Pb+Pb results to the $pp$ rapidity distributions at 14 TeV.
