| description | Proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions have long been recognized as a crucial
component of the physics programme with nuclear beams at high energies,
in particular for their reference role to interpret and understand
nucleus-nucleus data as well as for their potential to elucidate the partonic
structure of matter at low parton fractional momenta (small-x).
Here, we summarize the main motivations that make a proton-nucleus
run a decisive ingredient for a successful heavy-ion programme at the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and we present unique scientific opportunities
arising from these collisions. We also review the status of ongoing
discussions about operation plans for the p+Amode at the LHC. |
