Forward particle production in pp and pPb collisions at the Terascale — •Dmytro Volyanskyy — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, PO Box 103980, 69029 Heidelberg, Germany

Due to its unique pseudorapidity coverage and the ability to perform measurements at low transverse momenta, the LHCb detector allows a unique insight into particle production in the forward region at unprecedented collision energies. Using large samples of proton-proton and proton-lead collision data accumulated in the years 2010-2013, 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 will be presented here.
