Summary
Being inalienable part of the vast majority of high energy physics calculations, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) still has many external parameters and competing phenomenological models. Presented analyses of data collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at yet inaccessible energy of 13 TeV define differential production cross-sections of heavy boson, quarkonia, beauty and charm quarks. These results allow to put new constraints on parton distribution functions, obtain a new precision in tests of perturbative QCD approaches and descriptions of charmonium production mechanisms and are essential for the description of the Standard Model backgrounds in a wide range of experiments, from LHCb to IceCube.
