Heavy flavour decay muon production at forward rapidity in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV*

The production of muons from heavy flavour decays is measured at forward rapidity in proton-proton collisions at s=7 TeV collected with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The analysis is carried out on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity Lint=16.5 nb−1. The transverse momentum and...

Description
Summary:The production of muons from heavy flavour decays is measured at forward rapidity in proton-proton collisions at s=7 TeV collected with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The analysis is carried out on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity Lint=16.5 nb−1. The transverse momentum and rapidity differential production cross sections of muons from heavy flavour decays are measured in the rapidity range 2.5<y<4, over the transverse momentum range 2<pt<12 GeV/c. The results are compared to predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations.
