Bc Mesons Production at Hadron Colliders by Heavy Quark Fragmentation
Abstract
We present a reliable estimate on the production rate of Bc mesons in 1S and 2S states in the large transverse momentum region at hadronic colliders using heavy quark fragmentation functions derived within the framework of perturbative QCD. We also present the transverse momentum distribution for the Bc mesons. The production rate is large enough for the Bc mesons to be identified at the Tevatron. At the SSC/LHC the rate is so large that their properties can be studied in details.
