First minimum bias physics results at LHCb

Abstract

We report on the first measurements of the LHCb experiment, as obtained from $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=0.9$ TeV and 7 TeV recorded using a minimum bias trigger. In particular measurements of the absolute $K_S^0$ production cross section at $\sqrt{s}=0.9$ TeV and of the $\bar{\Lambda }/\Lambda$ ratio both at $\sqrt{s}=0.9$ TeV and 7 TeV are discussed and preliminary results are presented.
