Small x physics and hard QCD processes at LHC
We investigate the inclusive and jet production rates of $b-$quarks and also the $J/ψ-$meson production at the LHC in the framework of $k_T$-factorization QCD approach. Our study is based on the off-shell partonic QCD subprocesses. The unintegrated gluon densities in a proton are determined using the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin (KMR) prescription as well as CCFM evolution equation. Our predictions are compared with the recent experimental data taken by the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations.
