Description
Studies of strangeness and quarkonia production in the forward region provide important input to the understanding of QCD models in a kinematical range where they have large uncertainties. The LHCb experiment has collected a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 3 fb-1 in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)= 7 and 8 TeV, as well as smaller samples recorded with other LHC operating modes. We present the latest studies of the production of kaons, Lambda baryons, and quarkonia states.
