    abstract = "The W and Z boson production was measured via the muonic decay channel
in proton-lead collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV at the Large Hadron
Collider with the ALICE detector. The measurement covers backward (4.46
< y(cms) < 2.96) and forward (2.03 < y(cms) < 3.53) rapidity regions,
corresponding to Pb-going and p-going directions, respectively. The
Z-boson production cross section, with dimuon invariant mass of 60 <
m(mu mu) < 120 GeV/c(2) and muon transverse momentum (p(T)(mu)) larger
than 20 GeV/c, is measured. The production cross section and charge
asymmetry of muons from W-boson decays with p(T)(mu) > 10 GeV/c are
determined. The results are compared to theoretical calculations both
with and without including the nuclear modification of the parton
distribution functions. The W-boson production is also studied as a
function of the collision centrality: the cross section of muons from
W-boson decays is found to scale with the average number of binary
nucleon-nucleon collisions within uncertainties."
