B-meson production at forward rapidities in pp collisions at the LHC: estimating the intrinsic bottom contribution

Abstract The production of B mesons at forward rapidities is strongly sensitive to the behavior of the gluon and bottom distribution functions for small and large values of the Bjorken-x variable. In this exploratory study, we estimate the cross-section for the $$B^{\pm }$$ B ± meson production in t...
