  Abstract:
Measurements of the differential production cross sections ds/dpBT and ds/dyB for B0 mesons produced in pp collisions at p sqrt(s) = 7 TeV are presented. The dataset used was collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 40 pb1. The production cross section is measured from B0 meson decays reconstructed in the exclusive final state J/y K0 S, with the subsequent decays J/y ! m+m and K0S ! p+p. The total cross section for pBT > 5 GeV and y B < 2.2 is measured to be 33.2  2.5  3.5 mb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic
