$b$-hadron production cross-section using decays to $D^*\mu^-X$ at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV
Experiment: ATLAS (LHC)
Inspire ID: 1118269
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Andy Buckley
  • Sercan Sen
  • Peter Skands
References:Beams: p+ p+
Beam energies: (3500.0, 3500.0) GeV
Run details:
  • pp to b-hadron + X at 7 TeV, i.e. switch on "HardQCD:gg2bbbar" and "HardQCD:qqbar2bbbar" flags in Pythia8.

Measurement of $b$-hadron production cross section using 3.3 pb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, collected during the 2010 LHC run. The $b$-hadrons are selected by partially reconstructing $D^{*}\mu^-X$ final states using only direct semileptonic decays of $b$ to $D^*\mu^-X$. Differential cross sections as functions of $p_\perp$ and $|\eta|$.
