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.

The production of $Upsilon(nS)$ mesons ($n=1,2,3$) in $p$Pb and Pb$p$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $sqrt{s_{NN}}=8.16$ TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 31.8 nb$^{-1}$. The $Upsilon(nS)$ mesons are reconstructed through their decays into two opposite-sign muons. The measurements comprise the differential production cross-sections of the $Upsilon(1S)$ and $Upsilon(2S)$ states, their forward-to-backward ratios and nuclear modification factors, performed as a function of the transverse momentum pt and rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass frame $y^*$ of the $Upsilon(nS)$ states, in the kinematic range $p_{rm{T}}<25$ GeV/$c$ and $1.5<y^*<4.0$ ($-5.0<y^*<-2.5$) for $p$Pb (Pb$p$) collisions. In addition, production cross-sections for $Upsilon(3S)$ are measured integrated over phase space and the production ratios between all three $Upsilon(nS)$ states are determined. The measurements are compared to theoretical predictions and suppressions for quarkonium in $p$Pb collisions are observed.
Predictions made in Albacete {it et al} prior to the LHC $p+$Pb run at $sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5$ TeV are compared to currently available data. Some predictions shown here have been updated by including the same experimental cuts as the data. Some additional predictions are also presented, especially for quarkonia, that were provided to the experiments before the data were made public but were too late for the original publication are also shown here.
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.
The production of J/$psi$ mesons is studied in proton-lead collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $sqrt{s_{text{NN}}}=8.16$ TeV with the LHCb detector at the LHC. The double differential cross-sections of prompt and nonprompt J/$psi$ production are measured as functions of the J/$psi$ transverse momentum and rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass frame. Forward-to-backward ratios and nuclear modification factors are determined. The results are compared with theoretical calculations based on collinear factorisation using nuclear parton distribution functions, on the colour glass condensate or on coherent energy loss models.
The production of $J/psi$ mesons with rapidity $1.5<y<4.0$ or $-5.0<y<-2.5$ and transverse momentum $p_mathrm{T}<14 mathrm{GeV}/c$ is studied with the LHCb detector in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy $sqrt{s_{NN}}=5 mathrm{TeV}$. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about $1.6 mathrm{nb}^{-1}$. For the first time the nuclear modification factor and forward-backward production ratio are determined separately for prompt $J/psi$ mesons and $J/psi$ from $b$-hadron decays. Clear suppression of prompt $J/psi$ production with respect to proton-proton collisions at large rapidity is observed, while the production of $J/psi$ from $b$-hadron decays is less suppressed. These results show good agreement with available theoretical predictions. The measurement shows that cold nuclear matter effects are important for interpretations of the related quark-gluon plasma signatures in heavy-ion collisions.
