Some Features of the Hadronic $B_c^{(*)}$-meson Production at Large $p_T$

Calculations of the hadronic $B^{(*)}_c$-mesons production performed in the framework of the perturbative QCD taking into account $O(α_s^4)$ Feynmann diagrams are presented. A comparison of the exact calculations with those based on the fragmentation model of $\bar b\rightarrow B^{(*)}_c+X$ shows the large discrepancy between them. The exact calculations of the $B^{(*)}_c$-mesons production cross-sections as the function of $p_T$ at the energy of the FNAL Tevatron ($\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV) are given. The predicted ratio of the vector to the pseudoscalar state cross-sections is about $R\sim 3$ instead of $R\sim 1.4$ for the fragmentation model.
