Decays of b hadrons into final states containing a D0 meson and a muon are used to measure the b anti-b production cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. In the pseudorapidity interval 2 < eta < 6 and integrated over all transverse momenta we find that the average cross-section to produce b-flavoured or anti-b-flavoured hadrons is (75.3 +/- 5.4 +/- 13.0) microbarns.

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 different ial 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.
The charged particle production in proton-proton collisions is studied with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of ${sqrt{s} =7}$TeV in different intervals of pseudorapidity $eta$. The charged particles are reconstructed close to the interac tion region in the vertex detector, which provides high reconstruction efficiency in the $eta$ ranges $-2.5<eta<-2.0$ and $2.0<eta<4.5$. The data were taken with a minimum bias trigger, only requiring one or more reconstructed tracks in the vertex detector. By selecting an event sample with at least one track with a transverse momentum greater than 1 GeV/c a hard QCD subsample is investigated. Several event generators are compared with the data; none are able to describe fully the multiplicity distributions or the charged particle density distribution as a function of $eta$. In general, the models underestimate the charged particle production.
The energy flow created in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV is studied within the pseudorapidity range 1.9<eta<4.9 with data collected by the LHCb experiment. The measurements are performed for inclusive minimum-bias interactions, hard scattering proce sses and events with an enhanced or suppressed diffractive contribution. The results are compared to predictions given by PYTHIA-based and cosmic-ray event generators, which provide different models of soft hadronic interactions.

Charged particle multiplicities are studied in proton-proton collisions in the forward region at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s} = 7;$TeV with data collected by the LHCb detector. The forward spectrometer allows access to a kinematic range of $2. 0<eta<4.8$ in pseudorapidity, momenta down to $2;$GeV/$c$ and transverse momenta down to $0.2;$GeV/$c$. The measurements are performed using minimum-bias events with at least one charged particle in the kinematic acceptance. The results are presented as functions of pseudorapidity and transverse momentum and are compared to predictions from several Monte Carlo event generators.
The production of $B^{pm}$ mesons is studied in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 13 TeV, using $B^{pm}rightarrow J/psi K^{pm}$ decays and data samples corresponding to 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ and 0.3 fb$^{-1}$, respectively. The production c ross-sections summed over both charges and integrated over the transverse momentum range $0<p_{text{T}}< 40$ GeV/$c$ and the rapidity range $2.0<y<4.5$ are measured to be $sigma(pp rightarrow B^{pm} X, sqrt{s} = text{7 TeV}) = 43.0 pm 0.2 pm 2.5 pm 1.7mu b,$ $sigma(pp rightarrow B^{pm} X, sqrt{s} = text{13 TeV}) = 86.6 pm 0.5 pm 5.4 pm 3.4mu b,$ where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic, and the third are due to the limited knowledge of the $B^{pm}rightarrow J/psi K^{pm}$ branching fraction. The ratio of the cross-section at 13 TeV to that at 7 TeV is determined to be $2.02pm0.02text{(stat)}pm0.12text{(syst)}$. Differential cross-sections are also reported as functions of $p_{text{T}}$ and $y$. All results are in agreement with theoretical calculations based on the state-of-art fixed next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics.
