Description

Owing to the injection of gas into the LHC beampipe while multi-TeV proton
or ion beams are circulating, the LHCb spectrometer has the unique capabil-
ity to function as the as-of-today highest-energy fixed-target experiment. The
resulting beam-gas collisions cover an unexplored energy range that is above
previous fixed-target experiments, but below RHIC or LHC collider energies.
In this contribution, recent results for hadron production and polarization from
beam-gas fixed-target collisions at LHCb are presented. Also, the upgrade of
the fixed-target system, named SMOG2, and the preliminary results from the
first collected data, will be discussed.
