Abstract

A large data set collected at the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions during Runs 1 and 2 of the Large Hadron Collider has opened a unique possibility to study heavy beauty hadron states and to broaden knowledge of their spectroscopy and production. Recent results on searches for new excited b\mathrm{b}-hadron states, and studies of b\mathrm{b}-hadron production, are reviewed. In particular, the observation of new excited Ωb\Omega^-_{\mathrm{b}} states, the observation of two new narrow Λb(6146)0\Lambda_{\mathrm{b}}(6146)^0 and Λb(6152)0\Lambda_{\mathrm{b}}(6152)^0 states, the observation of new Λb0\Lambda_{\mathrm{b}}^{**0} state consistent with the Λb(2S)0\Lambda_{\mathrm{b}}(2\mathrm{S})^0 prediction, a precise measurement of the mass and width of Λb(5912)0\Lambda_{\mathrm{b}}(5912)^0 and Λb(5920)0\Lambda_{\mathrm{b}}(5920)^0 states, and a measurement of the Bc\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{c}}^- meson production fraction and BcBc+\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{c}}^--\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{c}}^+ production asymmetry in 7 and 13 TeV of proton-proton collisions are presented.
