Heavy flavor physics with CMS

Abstract

Different recent results from CMS Collaboration on Quarkonia Physics and Heavy Quarks production are presented. All these results have been obtained analyizing the data of $pp$ collisions at sqrt{s}=7 TeV provided by the LHC and collected by the CMS detector in the year 2010. The measurements of B-mesons, charmed mesons and open beauty production cross--sections are illustrated, together with the analysis techniques and the estimation of the systematics uncertainties, and compared with the predictions of the available theoretical models. A recent result from CDF on the Upsilon polarization is also reported.
