Electroweak boson production in Pb+PbPb+Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This proceeding presents independent studies of W boson, Z   boson, and photon production in lead–lead collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.14 nb−10.14 nb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2011. The measurements were conducted in a well-defined kinematic range as a function of the average number of participating nucleons 〈Npart〉〈Npart〉 and (pseudo)rapidity. These results are compared to corresponding jet measurements as well as to predictions based on modified leading-order and next-to-leading-order calculations.
