Studies of low-x phenomena with the LHCb detector

With a unique geometry covering the forward rapidity region, the LHCb detector provides unprecedented access to the low Bjorken-x down to x~10^-5 or lower. The excellent momentum resolution, vertex reconstruction and particle identification allow precision measurements down to very low hadron transverse momentum. In this contribution we present the latest studies of the relatively unknown low-x region using the LHCb detector, and discuss their unique constraints these measurements provide on nuclear parton distribution functions. Comparisons to various theoretical model calculations and implications on our understanding of gluon saturation in the nucleus will also be discussed.
