Constraints on the initial state of PbPb collisions via measurements of Z boson yields and azimuthal anisotropy at sqrt{s_NN} = 5.02 TeV
read the original abstract
The CMS experiment at the LHC has measured the differential cross sections of Z bosons decaying to pairs of leptons, as functions of transverse momentum and rapidity, in lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The measured Z boson elliptic azimuthal anisotropy coefficient is compatible with zero, showing that Z bosons do not experience significant final-state interactions in the medium produced in the collision. Yields of Z bosons are compared to Glauber model predictions and are found to deviate from these expectations in peripheral collisions, indicating the presence of initial collision geometry and centrality selection effects. The precision of the measurement allows, for the first time, for a data-driven determination of the nucleon-nucleon integrated luminosity as a function of lead-lead centrality, thereby eliminating the need for its estimation based on a Glauber model.

Geometric Bias and Centrality Dependence of Jet Quenching in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions
A refined HIJING initial-condition model with geometric bias from impact-parameter effects, combined with Boltzmann jet transport, describes the centrality dependence of charged-hadron suppression in 5.02 TeV Pb+Pb co...

Geometric Bias and Centrality Dependence of Jet Quenching in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions
Suppression of high-pT hadrons in peripheral Pb+Pb collisions is predominantly driven by initial-state geometric bias rather than final-state jet quenching.
