Description
We make a systematic study of the modifications of $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$
production
in $p+$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = 5$ TeV at the LHC. We compare
the uncertainties in the EPS09 shadowing parameterization to the calculated
mass and scale uncertainties obtained employng the EPS09 NLO central set.
We study the dependence of the results on the proton parton density and the
choice of the nuclear modifications. We check whether the results obtained
are consistent at leading and next-to-leading order.
The calculations are compared to the available ALICE and
LHCb data on the nuclear modification factors, $R_{pA}(y)$ and $R_{pA}(p_T)$,
as well as the forward-backward asymmetries, $R_{FB}(y)$ and $R_{FB}(p_T)$.
Finally, we make predictions for the next Pb+Pb run at
$\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = 5.1$ TeV in Run 2 of the LHC.
