Measurement of electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavour hadron decays
in pp collisions at \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV    [PDF]

The ALICE Collaboration

The differential production cross section of electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavour hadron decays has been measured at mid-rapidity ($|y| < 0.5$) in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with ALICE at the LHC. Data were collected in the transverse momentum range 0.5 $<$ p_t $<$ 8 GeV/$c$. Predictions from a fixed order perturbative QCD calculation with next-to-leading-log resummation agree with the data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties.
