Description
LHCb presents studies of particle production in minimum bias events in pp collisions at $\sqrt(s)$=7 TeV.
These studies include measurements of strangeness production, particle ratios, baryon-antibaryon
ratios and charged particle production. The forward coverage and low $p_T$ acceptance of the
experiment makes these measurements very complementary to those performed by the central detectors
at the LHC. Further benefits arise from the powerful particle identification
capabilities provided by the LHCb RICH system. The measurements are compared with
theoretical predictions.
