 © 2017 The Author(s) The differential cross sections for inclusive production of B+hadrons are measured as a function of the B+transverse momentum pTBand rapidity yBin pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, using data collected by the CMS experiment that correspond to an integrated luminosity of 48.1 pb−1. The measurement uses the exclusive decay channel B+→J/ψK+, with J/ψ mesons that decay to a pair of muons. The results show a reasonable agreement with theoretical calculations within the uncertainties.
