Special colloquium: Extending the physics reach of the fixed-target program at the LHCb experiment
possibility to be operated as the as-of-today highest-energy fixed-target experiment. During the LHC Run 2, data were collected with injected helium, neon and argon and their analysis has given access to a [...] heavy-ion physics and astrophysics. The system has been significantly improved for Run 3 with SMOG2, a dedicated storage cell for the gas and a new injection system, and now offers increased luminosities [...] fixed-target program. In this talk, the physics reach and the technical challenges of the SMOG and SMOG2 systems will be discussed, with a particular focus on recent and planned measurements of great interest …
