Description
In this contribution, recent results for helium identification and produc-
tion at LHCb will be discussed. From √sNN = 13 TeV pp collisions, a nearly
background-free sample of more than 105 helium candidates is identified by their
ionisation losses in the silicon detectors, combined with information from the
calorimeter, the muon chambers and the RICH detector. Combined with the ex-
cellent LHCb vertexing capabilities, (anti)helium production from (anti)hypertriton
or (anti)Lambda-b decays is studied. In both cases, a rich programme of QCD
and astrophysics interest, exemplifying LHCb flexibility in exploring new re-
search fields, is foreseen.
