Heavy flavour production and spectroscopy

Abstract

Latest results on the heavy flavour production and spectroscopy at the LHC are reviewed. These include measurements of production rates of the charmed and beauty hadrons, and observations of new excited charmed and beauty hadrons and exotic states.
