Description
Particle correlations are a powerful tool to study the properties of the bulk nu-
clear matter produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The momentum cor-
relations between identical particles originating from the same particle-emitting
source, referred to as the Bose-Einstein correlations, measure scales that are
related to the geometrical size of the source. The two-particle azimuthal angu-
lar correlations measure the spatial anisotropy of produced particles, providing
information on collective phenomena arising in the dense nuclear medium. This
contribution will discuss new LHCb measurements of Bose-Einstein correlations
and, for the first time, the collective flow coefficients in the far forward rapidity
region at LHC energy.
