Description
The unique design of the LHCb detector allows for novel methods of
probing intrinsic charm (IC). Its forward coverage and excellent
c-tagging capabilities provide sensitivity to valence-like IC from Z +
charm-jet events in pp collisions. The System for Measuring the
Overlap with Gas (SMOG), initially designed for precision luminosity
measurements, can also be used as a fixed target experiment sensitive
to IC. Details of the SMOG program to-date, will be given.
