Description
Fixed-target experiments at the LHC provide opportunities to study QCD in novel collision systems and in regions of phase space inaccessible to collider experiments. These unique features make fixed-target measurements powerful for constraining parton distribution functions (PDFs) and therefore probing proton and nuclear structure. In this talk, recent measurements of heavy flavour production in the fixed-target configuration of LHCb and their potential impact on PDFs will be presented. Prospects for future measurements at the LHC with the upgraded LHCb fixed-target program and proposed ALICE fixed-target program will also be discussed.
