Abstract
The LHCb experiment started its physics program with the 37/pb of pp collisions at 7 TeV c.m. energy delivered by the LHC during 2010. The performances and capability of the experiment, conceived for precision measurements in the heavy flavour sector, are illustrated through the first results from the experimental core program. A rich set of production studies provide precision QCD and EW tests in the unique high rapidity region covered by LHCb. Notably, results for W and Z production are very encouraging for setting constraints on the parton PDFs.
