Abstract

We study the hadronic production of BsB_s and BsB_s^* mesons within the fixed-flavor-number scheme, in which the dominant gluon-gluon fusion mechanism is dealt with by using the complete αs4\alpha_s^4 approach. Main theoretical uncertainties for BsB_s and BsB_s^* production at TEVATRON and LHC are presented. It is found that when msm_s increases by steps of 0.1 GeV, the integrated cross section of Bs()B^{(*)}_s decreases by 8080%-100%, when mbm_b increases by steps of 0.1 GeV, it changes to be 10\sim 10%. While the uncertainties caused by the parton distribution function and the factorization scale varies within the region of 1/5 to 1/3. Considering possible kinematic cut on the transverse momentum and the rapidity cut for the detectors at TEVATRON and LHC, we also make estimations on the BsB_s and BsB_s^* production with various kinematic cuts.
