The production of electroweak bosons (photons, W and Z particles) in PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76 TeV has been measured with the CMS detector at the LHC. Direct photons are selected by applying isolation criteria, while W and Z bosons are reconstructed through their muonic decay. The production rates in PbPb data are studied as a function of the collision centrality and compared to that in pp interactions (or next-to-leading-order calculations), once normalised by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon interactions. Apart from an expected asymmetry between W+ and W- due to the different quark content of protons and Pb nuclei, no deviation from binary-scaled production is observed. The isolated-photon energy is further used as a reference for away-side jets, which are found to be less energetic in PbPb than in pp collisions.
