Description
We use nCTEQ15 nPDFs with uncertainties to identify measurements which
have a potential impact on nuclear corrections and flavor
differentiation. In particular, recent LHC W/Z vector boson
production data in proton-lead and lead-lead collisions are quite
sensitive to heavier flavors (especially the strange PDF). This
complements the information from neutrino-DIS data. As the proton
flavor determination is dependent on nuclear corrections (from heavy
target DIS, for example), this information may also help improve
proton PDFs.
