$B_c$ Mesons Production at Hadron Colliders by Heavy Quark Fragmentation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We present a reliable estimate on the production rate of BcB_c mesons in 1S1S and 2S2S states in the large transverse momentum region at hadronic colliders using heavy quark fragmentation functions derived within the framework of perturbative QCD. We also present the transverse momentum distribution for the BcB_c mesons. The production rate is large enough for the BcB_c mesons to be identified at the Tevatron. At the SSC/LHC the rate is so large that their properties can be studied in details.
