Description

Due to its unique pseudorapidity coverage and the possibility of extending measurements to low transverse momenta, LHCb provides important input to the understanding of particle production in a kinematical range where models have large uncertainties. We report measurements of electroweak boson, strange and charmed particle production and energy flow in the forward region, using data collected at the LHCb experiment with a centre of mass energy of √s=7 TeV with an integrated luminosity of up to 1.0 fb–1. The results are compared to predictions given by various models and Monte Carlo event generators.
