Sumario:Among Most recent LHCb measurements relevant in the context of low-x physics include forward energy flow, Z and W cross-section measurements. The energy flow measurement smap the forward LHCb acceptance for four classes of events, namely inclusive minimum bias, non-diffractive, diffractive and hard-$p_T$ collisions. Estimates from high-energy collision generators -i.e. various PYTHIA tunes and cosmic-ray generators - were compared to the measurement values. $Z \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $W^\pm \to \mu^\pm \nu (\bar{\nu}$ production is measured based on data collected at 7 TeV, results are shown differentially and compared to theoretical pQCD predictions.
