FPCP / Heavy flavor production in pp collisions at LHCb

Heavy-flavour production is an important probe for QCD dynamics and heavy-quark interaction. Due to the huge production yields of heavy-flavour particles in pp collisions at the LHC, and the excellent performance of charm- and bottom-hadron reconstruction provided by the LHCb detector, the LHCb experiment is an ideal laboratory for heavy-flavour production measurements. In recent years LHCb performed precision measurements of a rich set of heavy-flavour hadrons, especially quarkonium and quarkonium-like particles. In this talk recent results from the LHCb experiment and their comparison with different theoretical predictions are presented.
