Description

The forwards-backwards asymmetry ($Y_{asm}$) of inclusive charged particles is reported as a function of transverse momentum in pPb collisions at $\sqrt(s_{NN})$=5.02 TeV as measured with the CMS detector. These asymmetries are constructed from the charged particle transverse momentum spectra measured for 0.4 < $p_T$ < 100 GeV/c, and in six pseudorapidity classes ranging from 0.3 to 1.8. In addition, the asymmetry is presented in classes of event activity determined by the total energy measured in the forward hadron calorimeter.
