Description
The LHCb detector’s forward geometry provides unprecedented access to
the very low regions of Bjorken x inside the nucleon. With full particle ID and
a fast DAQ, LHCb is able to fully reconstruct plentiful charged particles and
neutral mesons, as well as relatively rare probes such as heavy quarks, providing
a unique set of constraints on nucleon structure functions. This contribution will
discuss recent LHCb measurements sensitive to the low-x structure of nucleons,
and discuss the impact of recent LHCb measurements that dramatically reduce
nPDF uncertainties.
