# Bottom Production in $pp$ Collisions at Large Hadron Collider Energies using Parton Cascade Model

## TL;DR

This paper investigates bottom quark production in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies using a parton cascade model, finding minimal impact of the LPM effect on their production due to their origin in hard collisions.

## Contribution

It applies the parton cascade model to bottom quark production at LHC energies and assesses the LPM effect's influence, revealing a marginal impact unlike charm quarks.

## Key findings

- LPM effect has minimal impact on bottom quark production.
- Bottom quarks are mainly produced in very hard collisions.
- Contrast with charm quark production where LPM effect is more significant.

## Abstract

We study the production of bottom quarks in $pp$ collisions at Large Hadron Collider energies using previously developed parton cascade model to explore the impact of Landau Pomeranchuk Midgal (LPM) effect on their dynamics. In contrast to the case for charm quarks reported recently, we find only a marginal impact of the suppression of multiple scatterings of partons due to the LPM effect on their production. It is felt that this happens as they are only produced in very hard collisions.
