Transverse momentum distributions of primary charged particles have been studied using simulated data from the HIJING 1.0 event generator in the minimum bias p–Pb collisions at [Formula: see text] = 0.9, 1.8, 2.76 and 5.02[Formula: see text], in the two forward pseudorapidity ([Formula: see text]) regions: [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and in the transverse momentum range of [Formula: see text]. The simulated data in the pseudorapidity region of [Formula: see text] at 5.02[Formula: see text] depicts some differences in the region of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] 2[Formula: see text] when compared with CMS data. Model shows systematically higher values than the experimental measurements pointing out absorption effect for the experimental data. It is also observed that with increasing rapidity interval from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] observed differences for the behavior of the transverse momentum distributions are shifted to high transverse momentum region. The nuclear modification factor as a function of transverse momentum is constructed using the HIJING 1.0 code. With incident energy, the values of nuclear modification factor increase, for 0.9 and 1.8 [Formula: see text], the distributions seem to increase, but for 2.76 and 5.02 [Formula: see text], the distributions look flat. Numerically, the value of nuclear modification factor increases with the increase in the number of jets. This result shows that for the considered more forward pseudorapidiry area, the influence of the incident energy dominates and this is the reason that main results in the areas are connected with the leading particles.
