Vector bosons in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC

Understand

Vector bosons become accessible experimental probes in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC.

• The capabilities of the LHC experiments to perform their measurement are outlined.
• The focus is given to their utility to study the possible formation and properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) in the most central heavy-ion collisions.
• Their own sensitivity (if any) to the QGP is discussed.
