Cronin Effect and Energy Conservation Constraints in pA Collisions at LHC and RHIC

E. Cattaruzza, D. Treleani

We evaluate the Cronin effect in pA collisions at the CERN LHC and at RHIC in the framework of Glauber-eikonal model of initial state multiparton interactions. Taking carefully into account all kinematical constraints of each multi-parton interaction process we obtain a softening of the spectrum of produced partons, improving in this way the agreement of the model with the recent measurements of \pi 0 production in d+Au collisions at \sqrt s=200 AGeV.
