B-meson hadroproduction cross sections and up-to-date models
Abstract
The comparison of B-meson production cross sections as the results of PYTHIA code and Quark Gluon String Model (QGSM) is carried out for energies of proton colliders: , Tevatron and LHC. Model predictions are based on the theory of supercritical Pomeron exchanges with the phenomenological intercept (0)=0.3, accepted for heavy quark production.Transverse momentum spectra of B-mesons are also compared. It is shown that the cross sections calculated with PYTHIA using CTEQ structure functions are in a contradiction with the asymptotical estimation of B production cross sections in QGSM. Asymmetries between the spectra of and mesons are also contradicting. The reasons of the difference are discussed.
