Description
The LHCb detector's forward geometry provides unprecedented kinematic
coverage at low Bjorken-x. LHCb's excellent momentum resolution,
vertex reconstruction, and particle identification enable precision
measurements at low transverse momentum and high rapidity in
proton-lead collisions, probing x as small as 10^-6. In this
contribution, we present recent studies of low-x physics using the
LHCb detector. These studies include charged hadron, neutral pion, and
D0 production in proton-lead collisions, as well as charmonium
production in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions. Future prospects
and implications for the understanding of low-x nuclear PDFs and
parton saturation are also discussed.
