摘要： A recent theoretical model predicts that the modification of quark distributions in the nuclear medium (EMC effect) depends on the flavor of the quarks. We investigate W-boson production in proton–nucleus collision as a possible tool to test this theoretical prediction. Several experimental observables in W production sensitive to the flavor-dependent EMC effect are identified. Calculations for these experimental observables at the RHIC and LHC energies are presented using the recent flavor-dependent EMC model. 出版者： Elsevier B.V 出版日期： 2013-03-13 出處： Physics letters.
