Abstract:
The pseudorapidity distributions of charged hadrons in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at sNN=5.02\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02 and 8.16 TeV8.16~\mathrm{TeV} are measured using a data sample obtained with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The yield of primary charged long-lived hadrons produced in non-single-diffractive pPb collisions is determined in the central region of the CMS pixel detector (η<2.4\lvert \eta \rvert < 2.4) using hit pairs. The result is compared to predictions from calculations with gluon saturation models, Monte Carlo event generators, and to similar measurements made at lower collision energies.
