QCD and Electroweak Measurements in the Forward Region at LHCb

Results on the measurement of the W and Z cross-sections are presented using final state leptons having pseudo-rapidities between 2 and 4.5. The W measurement is performed in the channel $W \to \mu\nu$ while for the Z, all charged lepton final states have been used. Below the Z peak, di-muons allow...

Sumario:Results on the measurement of the W and Z cross-sections are presented using final state leptons having pseudo-rapidities between 2 and 4.5. The W measurement is performed in the channel $W \to \mu\nu$ while for the Z, all charged lepton final states have been used. Below the Z peak, di-muons allow the Drell-Yan cross-section to be measured down to a mass of 5GeV. Di-muon events are also used to identify and measure the cross-sections for the exclusive production of $J/\psi$,$\psi$' and $\chi_c$ mesons.
