Description
The phase space coverage of the LHCb detector allows a unique insight into the
particle production in the forward region at the LHC. Due to its unique pseudorapidity
coverage and the possibility of extending the measurements to low transverse
momenta, the LHCb data provide important input to the understanding of particle
production in a kinematical range where QCD models have large uncertainties.
Measurements of the production of charged particles, K^0_S and phi mesons are presented.
In addition the ratio of pbar/p and Lambdabar/Lambda are presented as a function of rapidity and
transverse momentum for centre-of-mass energies sqrt(s) = 0.9 TeV and 7.0 TeV,
probing baryon number transport from the beam. Baryon strangeness suppression is
studied through the measurement of Λbar/K^0_S. The measurements are compared with
lower energy measurements, phenomenological models and Monte Carlo event
generators.
