Description

I define the proton-contributor reference frame in proton nucleus (p--A) collisions as the center of mass of the system formed by the proton and the participant nucleons of the nucleus. Assuming that the rapidity distribution of produced particles is symmetric in the proton-contributor reference frame, several measurements in p-Pb collisions at sqrt(sNN)=5.02TeV can be described qualitatively. These include rapidity distributions of charged particles, J/ψ and Z bosons.
