Description

LHCb is a fully instrumented spectrometer covering the forward rapidity region at the LHC, and provides unique access to the small x region inside the nucleus. This talk will present a selection of recent results from the LHCb heavy ion program, including data on charged hadrons, open charm and charmonia production in pPb collisions, and J/psi production in peripheral PbPb collisions. Comparisons with calculations and effects from the nuclear PDF and dense QCD medium will be discussed.
