Abstract

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