Measurement of the b- Quark Production Cross Section in 7 and 13 TeV pp Collisions
Measurements
of the cross section for producing b quarks in the reaction pp -> b
(b) over barX are reported in 7 and 13 TeV collisions at the LHC as a
function of the pseudorapidity. in the range 2 < eta < 5 covered
by the acceptance of the LHCb experiment. The measurements are done
using semileptonic decays of b-flavored hadrons decaying into a
ground-state charmed hadron in association with a muon. The cross
sections in the covered. range are 72.0 +/- 0.3 +/- 6.8 and 154.3 +/-
1.5 +/- 14.3 +/- mu b for 7 and 13 TeV. The ratio is 2.14 +/- 0.02 +/-
0.13, where the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic,
respectively. The agreement with theoretical expectation is good at 7
TeV, but differs somewhat at 13 TeV. The measured ratio of cross
sections is larger at lower eta than the model prediction.

Abstract: | Measurements of the cross section for producing b quarks in the reaction pp -> b (b) over barX are reported in 7 and 13 TeV collisions at the LHC as a function of the pseudorapidity. in the range 2 < eta < 5 covered by the acceptance of the LHCb experiment. The measurements are done using semileptonic decays of b-flavored hadrons decaying into a ground-state charmed hadron in association with a muon. The cross sections in the covered. range are 72.0 +/- 0.3 +/- 6.8 and 154.3 +/- 1.5 +/- 14.3 +/- mu b for 7 and 13 TeV. The ratio is 2.14 +/- 0.02 +/- 0.13, where the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The agreement with theoretical expectation is good at 7 TeV, but differs somewhat at 13 TeV. The measured ratio of cross sections is larger at lower eta than the model prediction. |
