Production of the Bc Meson
Abstract
The production of the Bc and Bc* mesons was studied in the framework of the factorization formalism and perturbative QCD. Predicted results implied that an observable number of Bc and Bc* events can be produced at LEP I and at Tevatron. The fragmentation approximation describes the production of the Bc and Bc* mesons very well in high energy e+e- collisions. In hadronic collisions, it is valid when and only when the transverse momentum PT of the produced Bc and Bc* is much larger than the mass of the Bc meson.
