Description
The Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment provides an opportunity to study hadronization processes, how particular hadrons are formed from scattered quarks and gluons (partons), in the forward region, 2 < η < 5. Going beyond traditional collinear non-perturbative fragmentation functions (FFs), transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) FFs provide multidimensional information on the hadronization process. The excellent hadron identification capabilities of LHCb allow for a wealth of possible hadronization measurements. Ongoing and prospective measurements of TMD hadronization in heavy-flavor-tagged jets as well as the polarization of inclusively produced Λ and Λ-bar in heavy-ion pPb and fixed-target pNe will be discussed.
