Description

The LHCb spectrometer has the unique capability to function as a fixed-
target experiment by injecting gas into the LHC beampipe while proton or ion
beams are circulating. The resulting beam+gas collisions cover an unexplored
energy range, intermediate to previous fixed-target experiments and the top
RHIC energy for AA collisions, and allow systems of different size to be stud-
ied. Here we present new results on open charm, J/ψ, and ψ(2S) production
from pNe and PbNe fixed-target collisions at LHCb. Comparisons with various
theoretical models of particle production and transport through the nucleus will
be discussed
