The distributions shown in these plots were created using PYTHIA8 and CTEQ6 NLO, including the following processes weighted according to their cross-sections:

• qq → bb;    gg → bb;    qq → bbg (where q ≠ b);    bb → bbg;    gg → bbg

All five flavors (u,d,s,c,b) are considered in the PDFs. The total combined cross-sections given by PYTHIA are:

• 251.8 μb at 7 TeV;    291.6 μb at 8 TeV;    527.3 μb at 14 TeV.

The detector acceptances are defined here as

• 1.8 < η < 4.9 for LHCb; |η| < 2.4 for the GPD
