Abstract
The recent highlights from LHCb in soft QCD and Heavy Ion physics are presented. This includes measurements from collisions of proton and lead [see formula in PDF] ion beams with other beams as well as noble gas targets. An outlook on future analyses of [see formula in PDF] collisions is presented.
Highlights
1 Introduction The LHCb detector is a unique apparatus for soft QCD and Heavy Ion physics
For fixed target physics in LHCb the SMOG system is used [1]. This system allows for the injection of noble gases in the accelerator vacuum
The double differential cross section of antiproton production has been measured as a function of antiproton momentum and transverse momentum [4]; compared to EPOS LHC [5] and is presented in figure 1
Summary
The LHCb detector is a unique apparatus for soft QCD and Heavy Ion physics. With the forward acceptance at high rapidity(y) 2 < y < 5; with excellent tracking; particle identification capabilities and a system for noble gas injection - the SMOG system - for fixed target collisions [1] with the LHC beam LHCb can do measurements no other experiment can do. Additional forward scintillators (HeRSCheL) in the region 5 < η < 9 can be used to select central exclusive events
