The data used for this study correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 at a center-of-mass energy of ffiffiffi s p ¼ 8 TeV. The measurement is performed differentially in bins of transverse momentum pT for 13 GeV < pTðB c Þ < 22 GeV and pTðB c Þ > 22 GeV and in bins of rapidity y for jyj < 0.75 and 0.75 < jyj < 2.3. The relative cross section times branching fraction for the full range pT > 13 GeV and jyj < 2.3 is ð0.34 0.04stat þ0.06 −0.02 sys 0.01lifetimeÞ%. The differential measurements suggest that the production cross section of the B c decreases faster with pT than the production cross section of the B , while no significant dependence on rapidity is observed.}, organization = {CERN}, organization = {ANPCyT}, organization = {YerPhI, Armenia}, organization = {Australian Research Council}, organization = {BMWFW, Austria Austrian Science Fund (FWF)}, organization = {Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS)}, organization = {SSTC, Belarus}, organization = {Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPQ) Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP)}, organization = {Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Canada Foundation for Innovation}, organization = {National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)}, organization = {Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion Colciencias}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports - Czech Republic}, organization = {MPO CR}, organization = {Czech Republic Government}, organization = {DNRF}, organization = {Danish Natural Science Research Council}, organization = {Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) CEA-DRF/IRFU, France}, organization = {Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF)}, organization = {Max Planck Society}, organization = {Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT}, organization = {RGC and Hong Kong SAR, China}, organization = {Israel Science Foundation Benoziyo Center, Israel}, organization = {Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN)}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT)}, organization = {Japan Society for the Promotion of Science}, organization = {CNRST, Morocco; NWO, Netherlands}, organization = {RCN, Norway}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Poland NCN, Poland}, organization = {Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology European Commission}, organization = {MNE/IFA, Romania}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Science & Technological Development, Serbia}, organization = {MSSR, Slovakia}, organization = {Slovenian Research Agency - Slovenia MIZS, Slovenia}, organization = {Spanish Government}, organization = {SRC}, organization = {Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden}, organization = {Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan}, organization = {Ministry of Energy & Natural Resources - Turkey}, organization = {UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)}, organization = {Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC)}, organization = {United States Department of Energy (DOE) National Science Foundation (NSF)}, organization = {BCKDF}, organization = {CANARIE}, organization = {Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission}, organization = {COST, ERC European Commission Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, European Union}, organization = {French National Research Agency (ANR)}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG)}, organization = {European Commission}, organization = {Alexander von Humboldt Foundation}, organization = {Greek NSRF, Greece}, organization = {BSF-NSF}, organization = {German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development}, organization = {La Caixa Foundation}, organization = {CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya PROMETEO Generalitat Valenciana}, organization = {Goran Gustafssons Stiftelse, Sweden}, organization = {Royal Society of London}, organization = {European Commission}, organization = {Leverhulme Trust}, organization = {NDGF (Denmark, Norway, Sweden)}, organization = {KIT/GridKA (Germany)}, organization = {INFN-CNAF (Italy)}, organization = {NL-T1 (Netherlands), PIC (Spain)}, organization = {ASGC (Taiwan)}, organization = {BNL (USA)}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, title = {Measurement of the relative B-c(+/-)/B-+/- production cross section with the ATLAS detector at root s=8 TeV}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevD.104.012010}, author = {Aaboud, M. and Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio and Atlas Collaboration}, }
