The production cross-section of $J/psi$ pairs is measured using a data sample of $pp$ collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s} = 13 ,{mathrm{TeV}}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $279 pm 11 ,{mathrm{pb^{-1}}}$. The measurement is performed for $J/psi$ mesons with a transverse momentum of less than $10 ,{mathrm{GeV}}/c$ in the rapidity range $2.0<y<4.5$. The production cross-section is measured to be $15.2 pm 1.0 pm 0.9 ,{mathrm{nb}}$. The first uncertainty is statistical, and the second is systematic. The differential cross-sections as functions of several kinematic variables of the $J/psi$ pair are measured and compared to theoretical predictions.

Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $2.0,fb^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment, the production of the $eta_c(1S)$ state in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=13 text{ TeV}$ is studied in the rapidity range ${2.0 < y < 4.5}$ and in the transverse momentum range ${6.5 < p_{T} < 14.0text{ GeV}}$. The cross-section for prompt production of $eta_c(1S)$ mesons relative to that of the $J/psi$ meson is measured using the ${pbar{p}}$ decay mode and is found to be ${sigma_{eta_c(1S)}/sigma_{J/psi} = 1.69 pm 0.15 pm 0.10 pm 0.18}$. The quoted uncertainties are, in order, statistical, systematic and due to uncertainties on the branching fractions of the ${J/psito p bar{p}}$ and ${eta_cto p bar{p}}$ decays. The prompt $eta_c(1S)$ production cross-section is determined to be ${sigma_{eta_c(1S)} = 1.26 pm 0.11pm 0.08 pm 0.14 ,mu b}$, where the last uncertainty includes that on the ${J/psi}$ meson cross-section. The ratio of the branching fractions of $b$-hadron decays to the $eta_c(1S)$ and ${J/psi}$ states is measured to be ${mathcal{B}_{btoeta_c X}/mathcal{B}_{bto J/psi X} = 0.48 pm 0.03 pm 0.03 pm 0.05}$, where the last uncertainty is due to those on the branching fractions of the ${J/psi to p bar{p}}$ and ${eta_cto p bar{p}}$ decays. The difference between the ${J/psi}$ and $eta_c(1S)$ masses is also determined to be ${113.0 pm 0.7 pm 0.1text{ MeV}}$, which is the most precise single measurement of this quantity to date.
The production cross-sections of $J/psi$ mesons in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=5$ TeV are measured using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9.13pm0.18~text{pb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment. The cross-sections are measured differentially as a function of transverse momentum, $p_{text{T}}$, and rapidity, $y$, and separately for $J/psi$ mesons produced promptly and from beauty hadron decays (nonprompt). With the assumption of unpolarised $J/psi$ mesons, the production cross-sections integrated over the kinematic range $0<p_{text{T}}<20~text{GeV}/c$ and $2.0<y<4.5$ are $8.154pm0.010pm0.283~mutext{b}$ for prompt $J/psi$ mesons and $0.820pm0.003pm0.034~mutext{b}$ for nonprompt $J/psi$ mesons, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These cross-sections are compared with those at $sqrt{s}=8$ TeV and $13$ TeV, and are used to update the measurement of the nuclear modification factor in proton-lead collisions for $J/psi$ mesons at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $sqrt{s_{text{NN}}}=5$ TeV. The results are compared with theoretical predictions.
The production of J/psi mesons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector at the LHC. The differential cross-section for prompt J/psi production is measured as a function of the J/psi transverse momentum pT and rap idity y in the fiducial region 0<pT<14 GeV/c and 2.0<y<4.5. The differential cross-section and fraction of J/psi from b-hadron decays are also measured in the same pT and y ranges. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.2pb-1. The measured cross-sections integrated over the fiducial region are 10.52 +/- 0.04 +/- 1.40 +1.64/-2.20 mub for prompt J/psi production and 1.14 +/- 0.01 +/- 0.16 mub for J/psi from b-hadron decays, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The prompt J/psi production cross-section is obtained assuming no J/psi polarisation and the third error indicates the acceptance uncertainty due to this assumption.
The production of J/psi mesons is studied with the LHCb detector using data from pp collisions at sqrt(s)=2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 71 nb^-1. The differential cross-section for inclusive J/psi production is measured as a f unction of its transverse momentum pT. The cross-section in the fiducial region 0<pT<12 GeV/c and rapidity 2.0<y<4.5 is measured to be 5.6 +/- 0.1(stat) +/- 0.4 (syst) mub, with the assumption of unpolarised J/psi production. The fraction of J/psi production from b-hadron decays is measured to be (7.1 +/- 0.6 (stat) +/- 0.7 (syst)) %.
A measurement of the production cross-section of Z bosons in pp collisions at $sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV is presented using dimuon and dielectron final states in LHCb data. The cross-section is measured for leptons with pseudorapidities in the range $2.0 < e ta < 4.5$, transverse momenta $p_text{T} > 20$ GeV and dilepton invariant mass in the range $60<m(ellell)<120$ GeV. The integrated cross-section from averaging the two final states is begin{equation*}sigma_{text{Z}}^{ellell} = 194.3 pm 0.9 pm 3.3 pm 7.6text{ pb,}end{equation*} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is due to systematic effects, and the third is due to the luminosity determination. In addition, differential cross-sections are measured as functions of the Z boson rapidity, transverse momentum and the angular variable $phi^*_eta$.
