Description

Production of open heavy flavor in pPb collisions provides insight on the cold nuclear matter effects, and acts as a crucial reference measurement to AA collisions in order to disentangle cold nuclear matter effects from the QGP-related effects. The LHCb experiment has measured the production cross section of open charm and beauty hadrons in proton-lead collisions in the forward rapidity region. The measurements use data samples of pPb collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02 TeV and 8.16 TeV, collected by the LHCb detector in 2013 and 2016, respectively. In this talk we present the nuclear modification factors R_{pPb} of D^{0} and B^{+}, the baryon to meson ratio and the forward-backward production ratio R_{FB} for open charm and beauty states.
