We report on the perspective measurements of inclusive particle production in
high-energy p-p collisions with data to be collected by the LHCb experiment at
CERN's LHC. These include V0 and D meson production studies, which can be based
on a minimum bias sample, as well as charmonia production studies, which need a
muon-triggered samples. Using reconstructed J/ψ→μ+μ− decays,
both the prompt J/ψ and b→J/ψ production cross-sections will be
determined, in the forward pseudo-rapidity range of 2-5 covered by LHCb. Due to
the large production rate, such analyses will be possible with very small
integrated luminosities of the order of a few pb−1. Other
charmonia related measurements will also be discussed, such as that of the
J/ψ polarization at production or of the production of some of the new X,
Y and Z states.Comment: To be published in the proceedings of DPF-2009, Detroit, MI, July
