Mechanisms of J/ψ, Υ and B meson production in proton-proton scattering at total energy 7 TeV are studied with the help of event generator Pythia 8. Uncertainties in the total and differential cross sections due to choice of the renormalization and factorization scales are analyzed for prompt J/ψ an...
