This manuscript is the outcome of the subgroup ``PDFs, shadowing and $pA$ collisions'' from the CERN workshop ``Hard Probes in Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC''. In addition to the experimental parameters for $pA$ collisions at the LHC, the issues discussed are factorization in nuclear collisions, nuclear parton distributions (nPDFs), hard probes as the benchmark tests of factorization in $pA$ collisions at the LHC, and semi-hard probes as observables with potentially large nuclear effects. Also, novel QCD phenomena in $pA$ collisions at the LHC are considered. The importance of the $pA$ program at the LHC is emphasized.

As it has been discussed in Refs. [ref] this is reasonable, even if higher twist terms may be enhanced in the nuclear case up to higher hard scales $(∝A^1/3)$.

In this review of predictions for the heavy-ion programme at the LHC[Similar efforts done for RHIC can found in [ref] .] I will classify them into different groups according to the following scheme: Those observables which characterize the produced medium itself, which I will call bulk observables (or soft probes, as they refer to particles with momentum scales of the order of the typical momentum scale of the medium - the temperature if thermalization were achieved); and those whose expectation in the absence of any medium can be calculated by perturbative methods in QCD (pQCD) (thus characterized by a momentum scale much larger than both $Λ_QCD$ and the 'temperature' of the medium), commonly referred to as hard probes [ref] .
