Abstract

Broad and unexplored kinematic regions can be accessed at the LHC with fixed-target pppp, pApA and PbAPbA collisions at sNN=72115 GeV\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=72-115~\rm{GeV}. The LHCb detector is a fully-instrumented forward spectrometer able to run in fixed-target mode, and currently hosts a target gas cell to take data in the upcoming Run 3. The LHCspin project aims at extending this physics program to Run 4 and to bring polarised physics at the LHC. An overview of the physics potential and a description of the LHCspin experimental setup are presented.
