Low-$x$ physics at LHCb
Abstract
The LHCb detector's forward geometry provides unprecedented kinematic coverage at low Bjorken-. LHCb's excellent momentum resolution, vertex reconstruction, and particle identification enable precision measurements at low transverse momentum and high rapidity in proton-lead collisions, probing as small as . In this contribution, we present recent studies of low- physics using the LHCb detector. These studies include charged hadron, neutral pion, and production in proton-lead collisions, as well as charmonium production in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions. Future prospects and implications for the understanding of low- nuclear PDFs and parton saturation are also discussed.
