Abstract

The LHCb experiment at the LHC is fully instrumented over a unique pseudorapidity range in the forward region. Although it has been designed for b-physics, LHCb is able to provide valuable informations on particle production in this region of phase space. Therefore QCD studies have been performed with the LHCb detector on pp collisions at √s = 900 GeV and √s = 7 TeV. The measurement of charged particles multiplicity at √s = 7 TeV, $\overline{\Lambda }/\Lambda$, $\overline{\Lambda }/K_s^0$ production ratios at √s = 900 GeV and √s = 7 TeV, as well as light hadrons (p, K, pi) production ratios at √s = 900 GeV and √s = 7 TeV are reported.
