Description

Owing to its spectrometer acceptance, which is complementary to the other
LHC experiments, LHCb is collecting several fixed-target and ion collision sam-
ples, providing unique inputs to theoretical models in poorly explored kinematic
regions. In this contribution, the impact of the ongoing and foreseen upgrades
of the LHCb experiment on the ions and fixed-target physics programme are
discussed, notably including the installation of tracking station inside the mag-
net and the replacement of some tracker detectors to avoid saturation in central
lead-lead collisions.
