Description
This study presents measurements of dijet and neutral pion production in high-energy nuclear
collisions using the LHCb detector. The measurements provide essential insights into the parton
distribution functions, nuclear structure, and particle production dynamics within the
framework of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The nuclear modification factors for neutral
pions produced in proton-lead collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV show a
significant suppression in the forward region and the first evidence of enhancement in the
backward region. The inclusive 𝑏𝑏̅ and 𝑐𝑐̅-dijet production cross-sections in the forward
region of pp collisions, measured at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, are found to be in
agreement with theoretical predictions at next-to-leading order. The measurements of dijet and
neutral pion production provide complementary information on the PDFs and nuclear structure,
which are important for understanding QCD dynamics in high-energy nuclear collisions and
for further improving the theoretical models
