### LHCB_2010_I867355

Measurement of $\sigma(pp \to b \bar{b} X$ at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV in the forward region
Experiment: LHCb (LHC)
Inspire ID: 867355
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:

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.

The average cross-section to produce $b$-flavoured or $\bar{b}$-flavoured hadrons is measured in different pseudorapidity intervals over the entire range of p_\perp, assuming the LEP (and Tevatron) fractions for fragmentation into $b$-flavoured hadrons.
