Description
In heavy-ion collisions, collective flow is thought to arise from the geometric overlap of the colliding nuclei, which generates pressure gradients within the medium. Thanks to the diverse fixed-target data samples collected by the LHCb experiment, it is possible to study the influence of nuclear geometry on final-state particle correlations by comparing targets with different shapes. This contribution presents recent results on collective flow measurements in heavy-ion fixed-target collisions, including PbNe and PbAr, showing a strong influence of the nuclear geometry, predicted by the latest theoretical calculations.
