Z Production as a Test of Nuclear Effects at the LHC

preprint2002arXivOpen access

Abstract

We predict the Z transverse momentum distribution from proton-proton and nuclear collisions at the LHC. After demonstrating that higher-twist nuclear effects are very small, we propose Z0Z^0 production as a precision test for leading-twist pQCD in the TeV energy region. We also point out that shadowing may result in unexpected phenomenology at the LHC.
