Description

With its unique forward geometry, the LHCb detector provides unprecedented access to very low Bjorken-$x$ inside the nucleon. Its excellent momentum resolution, vertex reconstruction, and particle identification enable precision measurements of charged and neutral light hadrons, as well as rarer probes such as heavy quarks, down to very low transverse momentum. These data provide unique constraints on nuclear parton distributions and the possibility to study the gluon saturation regime at unprecedented precision. This contribution will discuss recent LHCb measurements sensitive to the structure of nucleons, and discuss their impact on global analyses of nuclear parton distribution functions.
