Measurements of particle production in proton-nucleus collisions
provide a reference to disentangle final state effects,
i.e. signatures of the formation of a deconfined hot medium, from
initial state effects, already present in cold nuclear matter.
Since many initial state effects are expected to vary as a function of
the number of collisions suffered by the incoming projectile, it...

Centrality is very important for defining the collision system size in heavy ion collisions. It provides a tool for selecting events in a similar way in different experiments and facilitates the comparison of experimental results and theoretical calculations. The progress of centrality determination in pPb collisions at CMS is presented. The choice of variables used for event classification...
