Abstract
The shape of the transverse momentum [Formula: see text] distribution of primary charged particles in minimum bias (nonsingle-diffractive) p–Pb collisions at [Formula: see text] is studied in the pseudorapidity regions: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and in the transverse momentum range [Formula: see text] using simulated data produced with the HIJING 1.0 code. These are compared with the ALICE data measured by the ALICE detector at the LHC. In the model, the central and forward [Formula: see text]-regions differ more than in the ALICE data and due to this fact HIJING 1.0 cannot describe well the high [Formula: see text] region in the [Formula: see text] distributions. The comparison of results from simulation implies that the HIJING 1.0 considered narrower pseudorapidity distribution for the charged particles than it is in the ALICE data. It cannot take into account satisfactorily leading effect due to the asymmetric p–Pb fragmentation.
