Predictions for cold nuclear matter effects on charged hadrons, identified light hadrons, quarkonium and heavy flavor hadrons, Drell-Yan dileptons, jets, photons, gauge bosons and top quarks produced in $p+$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = 8.16$ TeV are compiled and, where possible, compared to each other. Predictions of the normalized ratios of $p+$Pb to $p+p$ cross sections are also presented for most of the observables, providing new insights into the expected role of cold nuclear matter effects. In particular, the role of nuclear parton distribution functions on particle production can now be probed over a wider range of phase space than ever before.

  1. On the Cancellation of Nuclear Effects in the Valence Region

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    World data on isoscalar DIS cross-section ratios exhibit near-perfect cancellation of nuclear effects in the valence region 0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.35 across nuclei.

  2. Characterization of nuclear breakup as a function of hard-scattering kinematics using dijets measured by ATLAS in $p$+Pb collisions

    nucl-ex 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Dijet-tagged p+Pb collisions at 8.16 TeV show that Pb-going FCal transverse energy is approximately six times more sensitive to proton Bjorken-x than ZDC energy deposition.
