Abstract: The LHCb spectrometer has the unique capability to function as a fixed-target experiment by injecting gas into the LHC beam pipe while proton or ion beams are circulating. The resulting beam+gas collisions have a center of mass energy intermediate to previous fixed-target experiments and the top RHIC energy for AA collisions, cover an unexplored kinematic range and allow systems of different size to be studied. Here we present new results on open charm, J/ψ, and ψ(2S) production from pNe and PbNe fixed-target collisions at LHCb. Comparisons with various theoretical models of particle production and transport through the nucleus will be discussed.
