As the current nuclear PDF analyses are mainly constrained by fixed-target Drell-Yan and deeply
inelastic scattering data only the quark nuclear modifications at fairly large x values are in a good
control. Inclusive pion production in d+Au collisions at RHIC provides some constraints for
gluons but due to the limited kinematic reach of the data the gluon modifications remain uncertain
especially at small values of x. In this talk, we discuss how the existing data from p+Pb collisions
at the LHC can improve the nuclear PDF fits and which measurements would be sensitive to
the small-x gluons. In particular, we consider inclusive hadron production, compare this to direct
photons, and show estimates of the effect of CMS dijet measurements to the uncertainty of nuclear
gluon distributions.
