The relative yields of heavy hadrons as function of transverse momentum at LHC experiments

Abstract

It is shown that the dependence of ratio fs/fdf_s/f_d could be understood within the fragmentation approach. However, the validity of fragmentation model is questionable at low pTp_T, and contributions of nonfragmentation mechanisms are possible. It is demonstrated, that the precise measurements of pTp_T dependence of fs/fdf_s/f_d, fΛb/fBf_{\Lambda_b}/f_{B} and analogous values as function of pTp_T can essentially improve our understanding of heavy hadron production.At large pTp_T a plateau is expected in fs/fdf_s/f_d distribution. Contrary, a plateau is not expected in fBc/fBf_{B_c}/f_{B} distribution on pTp_T.
