Measurements of $b$ hadron production ratios in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 3 pb$^{-1}$ are presented. We study the ratios of strange $B$ meson to light $B$ meson production $f_s/(f_u+f_d)$ and $Lambda_b^0$ baryon to light $B$ meson production $f_{Lambda_b}/(f_u+f_d)$ as a function of the charmed hadron-muon pair transverse momentum $p_T$ and the $b$ hadron pseudorapidity $eta$, for $p_T$ between 0 and 14 GeV and $eta$ between 2 and 5. We find that $f_s/(f_u+f_d)$ is consistent with being independent of $p_{rm T}$ and $eta$, and we determine $f_s/(f_u+f_d)$ = 0.134$pm$ 0.004 $^{+0.011}_{-0.010}$, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The corresponding ratio $f_{Lambda_b}/(f_u+f_d)$ is found to be dependent upon the transverse momentum of the charmed hadron-muon pair, $f_{Lambda_b}/(f_u+f_d)=(0.404pm 0.017 (stat) pm 0.027 (syst) pm 0.105 (Br))times[1 -(0.031 pm 0.004 (stat) pm 0.003 (syst))times p_T(GeV)]$, where Br reflects an absolute scale uncertainty due to the poorly known branching fraction Br(Lambda_c^+ to pK^-pi^+)$. We extract the ratio of strange $B$ meson to light neutral $B$ meson production $f_s/f_d$ by averaging the result reported here with two previous measurements derived from the relative abundances of $bar{B}_s to D_S^+ pi ^-$ to $bar{B}^0 to D^+K^-$ and $bar{B}^0 to D^+pi^-$. We obtain $f_s/f_d=0.267^{+0.021}_{-0.020}$.

The production fractions of $overline{B}_s^0$ and $Lambda_b^0$ hadrons, normalized to the sum of $B^-$ and $overline{B}^0$ fractions, are measured in 13 TeV pp collisions using data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated lum inosity of 1.67/fb. These ratios, averaged over the $b$-hadron transverse momenta from 4 to 25 GeV and pseudorapidity from 2 to 5, are $0.122 pm 0.006$ for $overline{B}_s^0$, and $0.259 pm 0.018$ for $Lambda_b^0$, where the uncertainties arise from both statistical and systematic sources. The $Lambda_b^0$ ratio depends strongly on transverse momentum, while the $overline{B}_s^0$ ratio shows a mild dependence. Neither ratio shows variations with pseudorapidity. The measurements are made using semileptonic decays to minimize theoretical uncertainties. In addition, the ratio of $D^+$ to $D^0$ mesons produced in the sum of $overline{B}^0$ and $B^-$ semileptonic decays is determined as $0.359pm0.006pm 0.009$, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic.
The asymmetry in the production cross-section sigma of D+/- mesons, A_P = (sigma(D+) - sigma(D-))/(sigma(D+) + sigma(D-)), is measured in bins of pseudorapidity eta and transverse momentum p_T within the acceptance of the LHCb detector. The result is obtained with a sample of D+ -> K_S pi+ decays corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^-1, collected in pp collisions at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. When integrated over the kinematic range 2.0 < p_T < 18.0 GeV/c and 2.20 < eta < 4.75, the production asymmetry is A_P = (-0.96+/-0.26+/-0.18)%. The uncertainties quoted are statistical and systematic, respectively. The result assumes that any direct CP violation in the D+ -> K_S pi+ decay is negligible. No significant dependence on eta or p_T is observed.
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.
Measurements of the cross-section for producing bquark quarks in the reaction $ppto bbar{b} X$ are reported in 7 and 13 TeV collisions at the LHC as a function of the pseudorapidity $eta$ in the range $2<eta<5$ covered by the acceptance of the LHCb e xperiment. The measurements are done using semileptonic decays of $b$-flavored hadrons decaying into a ground-state charmed hadron in association with a muon. The cross-sections in the covered $eta$ range are $72.0pm 0.3pm6.8~mu$b and $144pm 1pm 21~mu$b for 7 and 13 TeV. The ratio is $2.00pm0.02pm0.26$, where the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The agreement with theoretical expectation is good at 7 TeV, but differs somewhat at 13 TeV. The measured ratio of cross-sections is larger at lower $eta$ than the model prediction.
The charged-particle production ratios $bar{p}/p$, $K^-/K^+$, $pi^-/pi^+$, $(p + bar{p})/(pi^+ + pi^-)$, $(K^+ + K^-)/(pi^+ + pi^-)$ and $(p + bar{p})/(K^+ + K^-)$ are measured with the LHCb detector using $0.3 {rm nb^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collisions delive red by the LHC at $sqrt{s} = 0.9$ TeV and $1.8 {rm nb^{-1}}$ at $sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. The measurements are performed as a function of transverse momentum $p_{rm T}$ and pseudorapidity $eta$. The production ratios are compared to the predictions of several Monte Carlo generator settings, none of which are able to describe adequately all observables. The ratio $bar{p}/p$ is also considered as a function of rapidity loss, $Delta y equiv y_{rm beam} - y$, and is used to constrain models of baryon transport.
