Forward heavy baryon production in pp collisions at LHC

Abstract

We present the theoretical results on the forward Lambda_b production in pp collisions obtained within the soft QCD, namely the quark gluon string model, at LHC energies. It can give us useful information on the Regge trajectories of the bottom mesons.
