Bc meson production at the Tevatron Revisited

CDF recently measured the quantity σ(B + c ) σ(B+) BR(B c →J/ψlν) BR(B+→J/ψK+) , from which we determine the ratio σ(B + c ) σ(b̄) to be (2.08 −0.95) × 10−3. If we interpret this ratio as a fragmentation probability, we show that this ratio is consistent with the prediction by perturbative QCD Bc fragmentation function of Braaten, Cheung, and Yuan. We also estimate the parameter mc (charm quark ...
