Sumario:The LHCb spectrometer has the unique capability to function as a fixed-target experiment by injecting gas into the LHC beampipe while proton or ion beams are circulating. The resulting beam+gas collisions cover an unexplored energy range that is above the previous fixed-target experiments, but below the top RHIC energy for AA collisions. Here, we present new results on antiproton and charm production from pHe, pNe, and PbNe fixed-target collisions at the LHCb. Comparisons with existing measurements and various theoretical models of particle production and transport through the nucleus will be discussed.
