We calculate the dependence of the nuclear modification factor of isolated prompt photons on transverse momentum pу/T and pseudo-rapidity η~у at very forward and backward rapidity regions, and we demonstrate that the forward-to-backward yield asymmetries Yasym/pPb as a function of pу/T with different nPDF parameterizations have diverse behaviors. Furthermore, the nuclear modification factor of isolated-у+jet RуJet/pPb as a function of у+jet's pseudo-rapidity η_(уJet)=1/2(η_у+η_(Jet)) at different average transverse momenta pavg/T=1/2(pу/T+pJet/T) has been discussed. This can facilitate a tomographic study of CNM effects with precis locations in a rather wide kinematic region by varying the transverse momenta and rapidities of both isolated photons and jets in p+A collisions.展开更多
