Abstract

We calculate nuclear modification factors and pseudorapidity asymmetries in $p A$ and $d A$ collisions in a pQCD-improved parton model. With the calculations tuned to describe existing spectra from $pp$ collisions and asymmetric systems at midrapidity and large rapidities at FNAL and RHIC energies, we make predictions for LHC energies.
