Description
Light hadrons constitute the bulk of particle production in heavy-ion collisions. Its properties, such as the production cross-sections of different hadron species or their average transverse momentum, are sensitive to both collective phenomena and the initial state of heavy-ion collisions. Bulk physics measurements in small collision systems can reveal the interplay between initial- and final-state effects in heavy-ion collisions, and can provide new insights into the origins of collective phenomena. The LHCb detector, with its high-resolution tracking system and its hadron ID capabilities, is perfectly suited for these studies in the forward region. In this contribution, new results on bulk measurements in small systems will be presented.
