Cross sections of inclusive $\psi(2S)$ and $X(3872)$ production from $b$-hadron decays in $pp$ collisions and comparison with ATLAS and CMS data

Abstract

We study the cross sections for the inclusive production of $\psi(2S)$ and $X(3872)$ hadrons in $pp$ collisions at the LHC at two different center-of-mass energies and compare with experimental data obtained by the ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb collaborations.
