Prospects of Bc Mesons at the Compact Muon Solenoid

Abstract

The results of two Monte Carlo generators for production of Bc mesonsin pp collisions are compared at the large hadron collider energy(s)1/2 = 14 TeV. In the study, the produced Bc mesons were forcedto decay into the final states Bslν, Bsπ, J/ψlν, and J/ψπ. We have estimated that about 104 decays of Bc areexpected to be recorded during the first year of the CMS running with alepton trigger. Many Bc studies can be carried out by using theseevents with a statistical error at the level of 10−2.
