Review of predictions of hard probes in $p+$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ and 8.16 TeV and comparison with data

Abstract

Predictions have been compiled for the $p+$Pb LHC runs, focusing on production of hard probes in cold nuclear matter. These predictions were first made for the $\sqrt{s_{{}_{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV $p+$Pb run and were later compared to the available data. A similar set of predictions were published for the 8.16~TeV $p+$Pb run. A selection of the predictions are reviewed here.
