Abstract

We have studied transverse momentum ($p_{\rm{T}}$) spectra of charged hadrons in various pseudo-rapidity ranges for p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV. The medium effects such as collective flow and energy loss resulting from heavy-ion collisions have also been investigated using modified Tsallis distribution function over a wide range of $p_{\rm{T}}$ that indicates the transverse collective flow at low and intermediate $p_{\rm{T}}$ range and in-medium energy loss in high $p_{\rm{T}}$ range.
