2. Partha Pratim Bhaduri, Kolkata2 Motivation The aim of the relativistic heavy-ion collisions is to study the onset of de-confinement and the properties of the de-confined media in the laboratory. Hence it is necessary to define unambiguous and experimentally viable probes for de-confinement. In this respect proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions must be a fundamental component of any heavy-ion physics program Defines the reference baseline relative to which we recognize HI specific phenomena p+A collisions provide a measure of the nuclear effects – helps in disentangling the “QGP” effect from the “non-QGP” effects. Here there is no formation time for the “secondary” medium, hence such collisions provide as essential tool to correctly account for the effect of the nuclear medium initially present.
