Hard probes with pPb and PbPb collisions and fixed target results at LHCb

Since 2013, LHCb has been developing an ambitious heavy ion physics program which is highly complementary to the other LHC experiments, thanks to the coverage of the forward rapidity region and the detector specialized capabilities on the reconstruction of heavy flavour hadrons. In addition, LHCb has the unique capability to operate as a fixed target experiment. By using its System for Measuring Overlap with Gas (SMOG), reactions of incident LHC proton beams on noble gas targets have been recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 110 GeV. These proceedings report an overview of the recent results in fixed-target mode as well as measurements of open and hidden heavy-flavour hadron production in pPb and PbPb collisions.
