The production of W± bosons is studied in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleonnucleon centre-of-mass energy of √sNN= 8.16 TeV. Measurements are performed in the W± → µ
±νµ channel using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 173.4 ± 6.1 nb−1, collected by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC. The number of positively and negatively charged W bosons is determined separately in the muon pseudorapidity region in the laboratory frame |η µ lab| < 2.4 and transverse momentum p µ T > 25 GeV/c. The W± boson differential cross sections, muon charge asymmetry, and the ratios of W± boson yields for the proton-going over the Pb-going beam directions are reported as a function of the muon pseudorapidity in the nucleonnucleon centre-of-mass frame. The measurements are compared to the predictions from theoretical calculations based on parton distribution functions (PDFs) at next-toleading-order. The results favour PDF calculations that include nuclear modifications and provide constraints on the nuclear PDF global fits
