Complementary insights to proton-proton studies
Abstract
In parallel to the study of proton-proton collisions, LHCb is developing a unique heavy-ion programme and is pioneering beam-gas fixed-target physics at the CERN LHC. In this document, a selection of some recent results from both programmes is presented.
