Dileptons are an important probe of the dense medium created in
heavy-ion collisions, with sensitivity to chiral symmetry
restoration, thermal radiation and in-medium effects. The PHENIX
Hadron-Blind Detector (HBD), which took data during RHIC runs
2009--2010, is a proximity-focusing \v{C}erenkov detector operated
with pure CF4, directly coupled to a triple GEM readout in a
windowless...

Dilepton measurements play an essential role in the study of hot and dense nuclear matter, created in heavy-ion collisions. Dileptons are produced in the whole evolution of the system and escape with minimum interaction with the strongly interacting medium. Thus, they provide information about the various stages of the system during the evolution. In the low mass region ($M_{ee}<1.1$...

The measurement of electron-positron pairs (dielectrons) in the low invariant mass region allows to study the vacuum and in-medium properties of light vector mesons. Additionally, dielectrons from semileptonic decays of correlated heavy quark mesons carry information on the heavy-flavour production in the different collision systems. To quantify modifications of the dielectron production in...

Electroweak boson production processes (W, Z and photon) provide access to the earliest moments of heavy ion collisions. Furthermore, because they do not undergo strong interactions, they are sensitive to the initial-state geometry of the collision and potentially the details of the nuclear parton distribution functions (PDF). ATLAS results on vector boson yields have demonstrated binary...

Electroweak boson production is an important benchmark process in high-energy heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. W and Z bosons do not participate in the strong interaction and their leptonic decays provide medium-blind probes of the initial state of the collisions. The final results on the W and Z production in pPb collisions at 5.02 TeV, combining both the muon and electron channels, will be...
