The ALICE experiment at the LHC has studied p-p collisions at several center-of-mass energies (namely, sqrt(s)= 0.9, 2.36, 2.76 and 7 TeV). Although the main focus of the experiment is on the study of nuclear collisions, many aspects of p-p physics can be addressed by ALICE. In particular, soft observables (charged hadron multiplicity, identified particle spectra and ratios, Bose-Einstein...

The LHC opens new frontiers in heavy flavour physics through an unprecedented statistical reach for a variety of interesting states produced in pp collisions. The four experiments have excellent complementary acceptances and good mass resolutions to provide a complete picture of quarkonium production. We will analyse the recent quarkonium results of the four LHC experiments, comparing them...
