Bottom production from fixed-target to LHC energies

We present a state-of-the-art compilation of the existing bottom production cross sections in elementary collisions, from fixed-target to collider experiments. We then discuss the theoretical uncertainties on the total and differential bottom cross sections in the FONLL approach. In particular, we s...

description We present a state-of-the-art compilation of the existing bottom production cross sections in elementary collisions, from fixed-target to collider experiments. We then discuss the theoretical uncertainties on the total and differential bottom cross sections in the FONLL approach. In particular, we show total cross sections and kinematical distributions of the bottom hadrons and their decays: B -> e/mu X, B -> D -> e/mu, and B -> J/psi X. After seeing that the calculations give a good description of the existing measurements, we present detailed predictions for the LHC experiments in their specific phase space windows.
