Prospects of B_c Mesons at the Compact Muon Solenoid

The results of two Monte Carlo generators for production of B_c mesons in pp collisions are compared at the large hadron collider energy √s=14 TeV. In the study, the produced B_c mesons were forced to decay into the final states B_slv, B_sπ, J/ψlv, and J/ψπ. We have estimated that about 10⁴ decays of B_c are expected to be recorded during the first year of the CMS running with a lepton trigger. Many B_c studies can be carried out by using these events with a statistical error at the level of 10^-2.
