Abstract
The LHC heavy ion data for W/Z production can provide new incisive
information on the PDFs. This data is sensitive to the heavier quark
flavors (strange and charm) in a high energy kinematic region; this
can facilitate the determination of PDFs in the small x region where
previous data was limited. At present, the flavor separation of the
proton PDFs is dependent on DIS data from nuclear targets. Therefore,
improved nuclear corrections can also yield enhanced flavor
determination of both the proton and nuclear PDFs.

How to cite
Metadata are provided both in
article format (very
similar to INSPIRE)
as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which
can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in
proceeding format which
is more detailed and complete.
