Abstract: In the framework of the Color Glass Condensate, the pseudo-rapidity distributions of charged hadrons in pp and pA collisions at the LHC are studied with the UGD function from the GBW model. With a χ2 analysis of the CMS data in pp collisions at √s=0.9, 2.36, 7 TeV, the normalization factor is obtained and the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Then, considering the influence of nucleon hard partons transverse distribution on the number of participants in pA collisions by using a Glauber Monte Carlo method, we also give the predictive results for the multiplicity distributions in pPb collisions at √s=4.4 TeV.
