Abstract
Transverse momentum spectra of charged particles are measured by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in pPb collisions at √s[subscript NN] = 5.02 TeV, in the range 0.4 < p[subscript T] < 120 GeV/c and pseudorapidity |η[subscript CM]| < 1.8 in the proton–nucleon center-of-mass frame. For p[subscript T] < 10 GeV/c, the charged-particle production is asymmetric about η[subscript CM] = 0, with smaller yield observed in the direction of the proton beam, qualitatively consistent with expectations from shadowing in nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDF). A pp reference spectrum at √s = 5.02 TeV is obtained by interpolation from previous measurements at higher and lower center-of-mass energies. The p[subscript T] distribution measured in pPb collisions shows an enhancement of charged particles with p[subscript T] > 20 GeV/c compared to expectations from the pp reference. The enhancement is larger than predicted by perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculations that include antishadowing modifications of nPDFs.
