Dynamical simulation on production of ${rm W}^{pm}$ and ${rm Z}^{0}$ bosons in p-p, p-Pb (Pb-p), and Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV with PACIAE


Abstract in English

In this paper, production of ${rm W}^{pm}$ and ${rm Z}^{0}$ vector bosons in p-p, p-Pb (Pb-p), and Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV is dynamically simulated with a parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE. ALICE data of ${rm Z}^{0}$ production is found to be reproduced fairly well. A prediction for ${rm W}^{pm}$ production is given in the same collision systems, at the same energy and at the same energy. An interesting isospin-effect is observed in the sign-change of $mu^{pm}$ charge asymmetry in pp, pn, np, and nn collisions and in minimum bias p-Pb, Pb-p and Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV, respectively.
