Hadronic production of B_c-mesons

Abstract

On the basis of the exact formulas of QCD perturbation theory and parton model the hadronic production cross-sections for $B_c({B_c}^*)$-mesons ($1^1S_0,1^3S_1,2^1S_0,2^3S_1$-states) are calculated. The method used is the direct calculation of appropriate amplitudes with the help of a FORTRAN program and subsequent Monte-Carlo integration over the phase space and convolution with the structure functions.
