Forward physics with the LHCb experiment

Due to its unique pseudorapidity coverage and the ability to perform measurements at low transverse momenta $p_{\rm T}$, the LHCb detector allows a unique insight into particle production in the forward region at the LHC. Using large samples of proton-proton collision data accumulated at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV, the LHCb collaboration has performed a series of dedicated analyses providing important input to the knowledge of the parton density functions, underlying event activity, low Bjorken-x QCD dynamics and exclusive processes. Some of these are briefly summarised here.Due to its unique pseudorapidity coverage and the ability to perform measurements at low transverse momenta pT, the LHCb detector allows a unique insight into particle production in the forward region at the LHC.
