Title: Measurement of the $$B_c^{\pm}$$ production cross section in $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=1.96$$ TeV

Abstract

We describe a measurement of the ratio of the cross sections times branching fractions of the Bc+ meson in the decay mode Bc+→J/ψμ+ν to the B+ meson in the decay mode B+→J/ψK+ in proton-antiproton collisions at center-of-mass energy s=1.96 TeV. The measurement is based on the complete CDF Run II data set, which comes from an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb-1. The ratio of the production cross sections times branching fractions for Bc+ and B+ mesons with momentum transverse to the beam greater than 6 GeV/c and rapidity magnitude smaller than 0.6 is 0.211±0.012(stat)-0.020+0.021(syst). Using the known B+→J/ψK+ branching fraction, the known B+ production cross section, and a selection of the predicted Bc+→J/ψμ+ν branching fractions, the range for the total Bc+ production cross section is estimated.

Journal Article Khachatryan, Vardan - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

The ratio of the production cross sections times branching fractions (σ(B^±_c)B(B^±_c→J/ψπ^±))/(σ(B^±)B(B^±→J/ψK^±)) is studied in proton-proton collisions at a center of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The kinematic region investigated requires B _c ^± and B^± mesons with transverse momentum p T > 15 GeV and rapidity |y|< 1.6. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.1 fb^-1. The ratio is determined to be [0.48±0.05(stat)± 0.03(syst)±0.05 (τBc)]%. The B c ^± → J/ψπ^± π ^± π ^∓ decay is also observed in the same data sample.

Measurement of the branching fraction $$B(B_u^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+)$$ and search for $$B_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$$

Journal Article Abe, F. ; et al. - Phys.Rev.Lett.

We report on a measurement of the branching fraction of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay Bu+→J/ψπ+, where J/ψ→μ+μ-. The data were collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during 1992–1995 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 110pb-1 in p¯p collisions at s=1.8TeV. A signal of 28-9+10 events is observed and we determine the ratio of branching fractions B(Bu+→J/ψπ+)/B(Bu+→J/ψK+) to be [5.0-1.7+1.9(stat)±0.1(syst)]%. Using the world average value for B(Bu+→J/ψK+), we calculate the branching fraction B(Bu+→J/ψπ+) to be (5.0-1.9+2.1)×10-5. We also search for the decay Bc+→J/ψπ+ and report a 95% confidence level limit on σ(Bc+)B(Bc+→J/ψπ+)/σ(Bu+)B(Bu+→J/ψK+) as a function of the Bc+ lifetime.

A fit to the J/{psi}/ mass distribution yielded 20.4{sub -5.5}{sup +6.2} events from B{sub c} mesons. A test of the null hypothesis, i.e., an attempt to fit the data with background alone, was rejected at the level of 4.8 standard deviations.
