Abstract
We calculate the medium modification factor IpA
for 5.02 TeV p + Pb collisions.
We use the Monte-Carlo Glauber model to
determine the parameters of the quark-gluon plasma fireball in pA
jet events.
Our calculations show that the jet quenching effect for IpA
turns out to be rather small.
We have found that the theoretical IpA as a function
of the underlying event charged multiplicity density, within errors,
agrees with data from ALICE [ALICE_Ipp_PLB] for 5.02 TeV p + Pb
collisions.
However, the experimental errors are too large to
draw a firm conclusion on the possible presence of jet quenching.
