A study of $chi_{b}$ meson production at LHCb is performed on proton-proton collision data, corresponding to 3.0fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected at centre-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}=7$ and 8TeV. The fraction of $Upsilon(nS)$ mesons originating from $chi_{b}$ decays is measured as a function of the $Upsilon$ transverse momentum in the rapidity range $2.0 < y^{Upsilon} < 4.5$. The radiative transition of the $chi_{b}(3P)$ meson to $Upsilon(3S)$ is observed for the first time. The $chi_{b1}(3P)$ mass is determined to be $$m(chi_{b1}(3P)) = 10,511.3 pm 1.7 pm 2.5 MeV/c^2,$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.

The polarization of the $Upsilon(1S)$, $Upsilon(2S)$ and $Upsilon(3S) $mesons, produced in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}$=7 and 8TeV, is measured using data samples collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1 and 2fb$^{-1}$, respectively. The measurements are performed in three polarization frames, using $Upsilontomu^+mu^-$ decays in the kinematic region of the transverse momentum $p_{T}(Upsilon)<30GeV/c$, and rapidity $2.2<y(Upsilon)<4.5$. No large polarization is observed.
The decay $Z rightarrow b bar{b}$ is reconstructed in $pp$ collision data, corresponding to 2 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=8$ TeV. The product of the $Z$ production cross-section and the $Z rightarrow b bar{b}$ branching fraction is measured for candidates in the fiducial region defined by two particle-level $b$-quark jets with pseudorapidities in the range $2.2 < eta < 4.2$, with transverse momenta $p_{T}>20$ GeV and dijet invariant mass in the range $45 < m_{jj} < 165$ GeV. From a signal yield of $5462 pm 763$ $Z rightarrow b bar{b}$ events, where the uncertainty is statistical, a production cross-section times branching fraction of $332 pm 46 pm 59$ pb is obtained, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The measured significance of the signal yield is 6.0 standard deviations. This measurement represents the first observation of the $Z rightarrow b bar{b}$ production in the forward region of $pp$ collisions.
Prompt production of charmonium $chi_{c0}$, $chi_{c1}$ and $chi_{c2}$ mesons is studied using proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=7$TeV. The $chi_{c}$ mesons are identified through their decay to $J/psigamma$, with $J/psitomu^+mu^-$ using photons that converted in the detector. A data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb detector, is used to measure the relative prompt production rate of $chi_{c1}$ and $chi_{c2}$ in the rapidity range $2.0<y<4.5$ as a function of the $J/psi$ transverse momentum from 3 to 20 GeV$/c$. First evidence for $chi_{c0}$ meson production at a high-energy hadron collider is also presented.
The production of Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S) and Upsilon(3S) mesons in proton-proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=7 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a data sample of 25 pb-1 collected at the Large Hadron Collider. The Upsilon mesons are reconstructed in the decay mode Upsilon -> mu+ mu- and the signal yields are extracted from a fit to the mu+ mu- invariant mass distributions. The differential production cross-sections times dimuon branching fractions are measured as a function of the Upsilon transverse momentum pT and rapidity y, over the range pT < 15 GeV/c and 2.0 < y < 4.5. The cross-sections times branching fractions, integrated over these kinematic ranges, are measured to be sigma(pp -> Upsilon(1S) X) x B(Upsilon(1S)->mu+ mu-) = 2.29 {pm} 0.01 {pm} 0.10 -0.37 +0.19 nb, sigma(pp -> Upsilon(2S) X) x B(Upsilon(2S)->mu+ mu-) = 0.562 {pm} 0.007 {pm} 0.023 -0.092 +0.048 nb, sigma(pp -> Upsilon(3S) X) x B(Upsilon(3S)->mu+ mu-) = 0.283 {pm} 0.005 {pm} 0.012 -0.048 +0.025 nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the unknown polarisation of the three Upsilon states.
The production of B+- mesons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV is studied using 35 pb-1 of data collected by the LHCb detector. The B+- mesons are reconstructed exclusively in the B+- -> J/psi K+- mode, with J/psi -> mu+ mu-. The differential production cross-section is measured as a function of the B+- transverse momentum in the fiducial region 0 < pT < 40 GeV/c and with rapidity 2.0 < y < 4.5. The total cross-section, summing up B+ and B-, is measured to be sigma(pp -> B+- X, 0 < pT < 40 GeV/c, 2.0 < y < 4.5) = 41.4 +- 1.5 (stat.) +- 3.1 (syst.) mub.
