Abstract:
Measurements of the differential production cross section times branching fraction of the Bc+J/ψπ+B_c^+ \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ and B+J/ψK+B^+\rightarrow J/\psi K^+ processes are presented as a function of the Bc+B_c^+(B+B^+) transverse momentum pTp_{T} and absolute rapidity y|y|. The measurements are based on data collected by CMS in 20112011 in pp collisions at s=7 TeV\sqrt{s}=7~\mathrm{TeV}, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.77 fb14.77~\mathrm{fb^{-1}}. The integrated production cross sections times branching fraction in the kinematic region of pT(Bc+, B+)>10 GeV/cp_{T}(B_c^+,~B^+)>10~\mathrm{GeV}/c and y(Bc+, B+)<1.5|y|(B_c^+,~B^+)<1.5 are measured to be 40.8±4.7 (stat.)±2.8 (syst.) pb40.8\pm4.7{\rm~(stat.)}\pm2.8{\rm~(syst.)}~\mathrm{pb} for Bc+J/ψπ+B_c^+ \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ and 5851.3±37.1± (stat.)±446.4 (syst.) pb5851.3\pm37.1\pm{\rm~(stat.)}\pm446.4{\rm~(syst.)}~\mathrm{pb} for B+J/ψK+B^+\rightarrow J/\psi K^+. The B+J/ψK+B^+\rightarrow J/\psi K^+ production is found to be described reasonably well by FONLL theoretical calculations, while the shape of Bc+J/ψπ+B_c^+ \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ production is described well by BCVEGPY theoretical predictions.
