The cross-sections of $psi(2S)$ meson production in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}=13~mathrm{TeV}$ are measured with a data sample collected by the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $275~pmathrm{b}^{-1}$. The production cross-sections for prompt $psi(2S)$ mesons and those for $psi(2S)$ mesons from $b$-hadron decays ($psi{(2S)}mathrm{-from-}b$) are determined as functions of the transverse momentum, $p_{mathrm{T}}$, and the rapidity, $y$, of the $psi(2S)$ meson in the kinematic range $2<p_{mathrm{T}}<20~mathrm{GeV}/c$ and $2.0<y<4.5$. The production cross-sections integrated over this kinematic region are begin{equation*} begin{split} sigma(mbox{prompt }psi(2S),13~mathrm{TeV}) &= {1.430 pm 0.005(mathrm{stat}) pm 0.099 (mathrm{syst})mumathrm{b}}, sigma(psi(2S)mathrm{-from-}b,13~mathrm{TeV})&={0.426 pm 0.002(mathrm{stat}) pm0.030 (mathrm{syst})mumathrm{b}}. end{split} end{equation*} A new measurement of $psi(2S)$ production cross-sections in $pp$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=7~mathrm{TeV}$ is also performed using data collected in 2011, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $614~{pmathrm{b}^{-1}}$.The integrated production cross-sections in the kinematic range $3.5<p_{mathrm{T}}<14~mathrm{GeV}/c$ and $2.0<y<4.5$ are begin{equation*} begin{split} sigma(mbox{prompt }psi(2S),7~mathrm{TeV}) &={0.471 pm0.001 (mathrm{stat}) pm 0.025 (mathrm{syst})mumathrm{b}}, sigma(psi(2S)mathrm{-from-}b,7~mathrm{TeV}) &={0.126pm0.001 (mathrm{stat}) pm0.008 (mathrm{syst})mumathrm{b}}. end{split} end{equation*} All results show reasonable agreement with theoretical calculations.

The production cross-sections of B mesons are measured in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, using data collected with the LHCb detector corresponding to a integrated luminosity of 0.36 fb-1. The B+, B0 and Bs0 mesons are reconstructed in the exclusive decays B+ -> J/psi K+, B0 -> J/psi K*0 and Bs0 -> J/psi phi, with J/psi -> mu+ mu-, K*0 -> K+ pi- and phi -> K+ K-. The differential cross-sections are measured as functions of B meson transverse momentum pT and rapidity y, in the range 0 < pT < 40 GeV/c and 2.0 < y < 4.5. The integrated cross-sections in the same pT and y ranges, including charge-conjugate states, are measured to be sigma(pp -> B+ + X) = 38.9 +- 0.3 (stat.) +- 2.5 (syst.) +- 1.3 (norm.) mub, sigma(pp -> B0 + X) = 38.1 +- 0.6 (stat.) +- 3.7 (syst.) +- 4.7 (norm.) mub, sigma(pp -> Bs0 + X) = 10.5 +- 0.2 (stat.) +- 0.8 (syst.) +- 1.0 (norm.) mub, where the third uncertainty arises from the pre-existing branching fraction measurements.
The differential cross-section as a function of rapidity has been measured for the exclusive production of $J/psi$ and $psi(2S)$ mesons in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}=7$ TeV, using data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 930 pb$^{-1}$. The cross-sections times branching fractions to two muons having pseudorapidities between 2.0 and 4.5 are measured to be $$begin{array}{rl} sigma_{pprightarrow J/psirightarrow{mu^+}{mu^-}}(2.0<eta_{mu^pm }<4.5)=&291pm 7pm19 {rm pb}, sigma_{pprightarrowpsi(2S)rightarrow{mu^+}{mu^-}}(2.0<eta_{mu^pm}<4.5)=&6.5pm 0.9pm 0.4 {rm pb},end{array}$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The measurements agree with next-to-leading order QCD predictions as well as with models that include saturation effects.
The differential cross-section for the inclusive production of psi(2S) mesons in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV has been measured with the LHCb detector. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb-1. The psi(2S) mesons are reconstructed in the decay channels psi(2S) -> mu+ mu- and psi(2S) -> J/psi pi+ pi-, with the J/psi meson decaying into two muons. Results are presented both for promptly produced psi(2S) mesons and for those originating from b-hadron decays. In the kinematic range pT(psi(2S)) <= 16 GeV/c and 2 < y(psi(2S)) <= 4.5 we measure 1.44 +- 0.01 +- 0.12+0.2-0.4 mub for prompt psi(2S) production and 0.25 +- 0.01 +- 0.02 mub for psi(2S) from b-hadron decays, where the last uncertainty on the prompt cross-section is due to the unknown psi(2S) polarization. Recent QCD calculations are found to be in good agreement with our measurements. Combining the present result with the LHCb J/psi measurements we determine the inclusive branching fraction B(b -> psi(2S) X) = (2.73 +- 0.06 +- 0.16 +- 0.24) x 10^(-3), where the last uncertainty is due to the B(b -> J/psi X), B(J/psi -> mu+ mu-) and B(psi(2S) -> e+ e-) branching fraction uncertainties. All above results are corrected by an erratum included as an appendix.

In this paper, we report the production cross-section of forward photons in the pseudorapidity regions of $eta,>,10.94$ and $8.99,>,eta,>,8.81$, measured by the LHCf experiment with proton--proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. The results from the analysis of 0.191 $mathrm{nb^{-1}}$ of data obtained in June 2015 are compared to the predictions of several hadronic interaction models that are used in air-shower simulations for ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. Although none of the models agree perfectly with the data, EPOS-LHC shows the best agreement with the experimental data among the models.
