文摘

The LHCb detector at the LHC has a pseudorapidity coverage (2<η<5$2<\eta <5$) which allows it to perform particle production measurements in a kinematic region where QCD models have large uncertainties. Selected analyses on particle production measurements in pp collisions are summarised in these proceedings. The energy flow has been measured separately for different event classes allowing to probe multi-parton interactions at large η  . The measured prompt hadron ratios are important for hadronisation models, while the $\bar{p}/p$ ratio is a good observable to test models of baryon number transport. Charm production has been studied to determine cross-sections and production ratios. All measurements are compared to a variety of theory predictions.
