Using the LHCb and ALICE detectors in the fixed-target mode at the LHC offers unprecedentedpossibilities to study the quark, gluon and heavy-quark content of the proton and nuclei in thepoorly known region of the high-momentum fractions. We review our projections for studies ofDrell-Yan, charm, beauty and quarkonium production with both detector set-ups used with variousnuclear targets and the LHC proton beams. Based on this, we show the expected improvement inthe determination of the quark, charm and gluon proton and nuclear PDFs as well as discuss theimplication for a better understanding of the cold-nuclear-matter effects in hard-probe productionin proton-nucleus collisions.

Abstract
Using the LHCb and ALICE detectors in the fixed-target mode at the LHC offers unprecedentedpossibilities to study the quark, gluon and heavy-quark content of the proton and nuclei in thepoorly known region of the high-momentum fractions. We review our projections for studies ofDrell-Yan, charm, beauty and quarkonium production with both detector set-ups used with variousnuclear targets and the LHC proton beams. Based on this, we show the expected improvement inthe determination of the quark, charm and gluon proton and nuclear PDFs as well as discuss theimplication for a better understanding of the cold-nuclear-matter effects in hard-probe productionin proton-nucleus collisions.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
