  Abstract:
Measurements of the total and differential cross sections ds/dp B T and ds/dy B for B+ mesons produced in pp ollisions at p sqrt(s) = 7 TeV are presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.8 pb 1 collected by the CMS experiment operating at the LHC. The exclusive decay B + ! J/yK+ , with J/y ! m+m , is used to detect B+ mesons and to measure the production cross section as a function of p B T and y B . The total cross section for pB T > 5GeV and yB < 2.4 is measured to be 28.1  2.4  2.0 3.1 mb, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the last is from the luminosity measurement.
