Abstract

We present recent results from charmonium and open charm production at the LHCb experiment at CERN, Geneva. We concentrate on studies for the measurement of the cross section pp ->JPsi+X in its decay channel with two muons, showing the agreement of the simulation with the data in few key distributions. We also show the reconstructed modes of D0->K-pi+, D0 K-pi+pi0, LambdaC+ -> p K-pi+ and D+ ->Ks0 pi+ and their prospects.
