Theoretical predictions for charm and bottom production at the LHC

A bstract We present predictions for a variety of single-inclusive observables that stem from the production of charm and bottom quark pairs at the 7 TeV LHC. They are obtained within the FONLL semi-analytical framework, and with two “Monte Carlo + NLO” approaches, MC@NLO and POWHEG. Results are giv...

Zusammenfassung:A bstract We present predictions for a variety of single-inclusive observables that stem from the production of charm and bottom quark pairs at the 7 TeV LHC. They are obtained within the FONLL semi-analytical framework, and with two “Monte Carlo + NLO” approaches, MC@NLO and POWHEG. Results are given for final states and acceptance cuts that are as close as possible to those used by experimental collaborations and, where feasible, are compared to LHC data.
