Description

Cross section measurements of inclusive b production in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV by the CMS experiment are presented. The measurements are based on two different methods. The first method uses inclusive jets with secondary vertex tagging, while the second method selects a sample of events containing jets and at least one muon, where the transverse momentum of the muon with respect to the closest jet axis discriminates b events from the background. The data are compared with QCD Monte Carlo predictions at LO and NLO accuracy.
