Abstract	AFTER@LHC is an ambitious fixed-target project in order to address open questions in the domain of proton and neutron spins, Quark Gluon Plasma and high-$x$ physics, at the highest energy ever reached in the fixed-target mode. Indeed, thanks to the highly energetic 7 TeV proton and 2.76 A.TeV lead LHC beams, center-of-mass energies as large as $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 115 GeV in pp/pA and $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 72 GeV in AA can be reached, corresponding to an uncharted energy domain between SPS and RHIC. We report two main ways of performing fixed-target collisions at the LHC, both allowing for the usage of one of the existing LHC experiments. In these proceedings, after discussing the projected luminosities considered for one year of data taking at the LHC, we will present a selection of projections for light and heavy-flavour production.

$\footnotesize Light-particle multiplicity distributions (left) and elliptic flow $v_{2}$ (right) as a function of $\eta_{\rm lab}$ for fixed-target Pb-Pb collisions, in the centrality range 20-30\%. Pions (kaons, protons and antiprotons) are represented as black (red, blue, pink) dots, respectively. In the right panel, the statistical uncertainties on the $v_{2}$ coefficients (vertical uncertainty bars) have been computed in the ALICE central-barrel and LHCb detector acceptances, assuming the collection of 10$^{8}$ minimum bias events.$ $\footnotesize Left panel: Dimuon invariant-mass distribution in the $\Upsilon(nS)$ region after combinatorial background subtraction, in Pb-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 72 GeV ($\cal{L}_{\rm int}$~=~30 nb$^{-1}$). Single muons are required to have $p_{T} >$~0.7~GeV/c and dimuons to be within 3 $< y_{\rm lab} <$ 5. Right panel: Projection of the statistical uncertainties (vertical bars) on the nuclear modification factor in pXe collisions (black square), Pb-Xe collisions (blue dot) for $\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$, in the rapidity range 3 $< y_{\rm lab} <$ 5.$ $\footnotesize Left panel: D$^{0}$ meson yield per year as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ in fixed-target pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$~=~115~GeV, for three D$^{0}$ rapidity ranges: 2 $< y_{lab} <$ 3 (red line), 3 $< y_{lab} <$ 4 (green dashed line), 4 $< y_{lab} <$ 5 (blue dotted line). Right panel: Relative uncertainty on the D$^{0}$ meson yield due to the IC content of the proton as a function of $p_{\rm T}$. The vertical black lines correspond to the statistical projections of the AFTER@LHC yearly D$^{0}$ meson yield in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$~=~115 GeV, in 2 $< y_{lab} <$ 3.$ Show more plots
