Description

A measurement of the open beauty production cross section in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass-energy of 7TeV is presented. The dataset was recorded with the CMS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider(CERN). Events are selected by the presence of one muon. The transverse momentum of the muon with respect to the closest track jet discriminates b events from background. The open beauty production cross section is presented as a function of muon transverse momentum and pseudorapidity. The data are compared with QCD Monte Carlo predictions.
