Description
Within the recent LHCb upgrade program, notably including the replace-
ment of the whole tracking system and the removal of the hardware trigger
level, the gaseous target SMOG has been improved by the installation of a gas
storage cell upstream of the nominal LHCb interaction point. This is allowing
to increase the injected gas pressure by up to two orders of magnitude for the
same gas flow as Run2 and to also collect data for collisions of LHC beams on
non-noble gases, notably hydrogen. In this contribution, the commissioning of
the system, the first performance from the early analysis of 2022 data and the
physics prospects for Run3 will be presented.
