The measurements are done using semileptonic decays of b-flavored hadrons decaying into a ground-state charmed hadron in association with a muon. The cross sections in the covered. range are 72.0 +/- 0.3 +/- 6.8 and 154.3 +/- 1.5 +/- 14.3 +/- mu b for 7 and 13 TeV. The ratio is 2.14 +/- 0.02 +/- 0.13, where the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The agreement with theoretical expectation is good at 7 TeV, but differs somewhat at 13 TeV. The measured ratio of cross sections is larger at lower eta than the model prediction.11 p.application/pdfengcc by (c) CERN; LHCb Collaboration, 2017http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/Física de partículesExperimentsParticle physicsExperimentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6779402019-05-08info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
