Sumario:Measuring heavy flavour production at LHC provides an opportunity for a new insight into QCD and extensive tests at the new energy regime of 7 TeV at center-of-mass energy. ATLAS results for quarkonium production are presented and compared to theoretical predictions of various QCD models. Open b and bb ̄ cross-section measurements are compared to next-to-leading order calculations. ATLAS capabilities to reconstruct B-hadrons in exclusive decays is also reported with measurements of B-hadron lifetimes.
