semileptonic decays of heavy-flavor hadrons has been measured at
midrapidity in proton-proton collisions at root s = 2.76 TeV in the
transverse momentum range 0.5 < p(T) < 12 GeV/c with the ALICE detector
at the LHC. The analysis was performed using minimum bias events and
events triggered by the electromagnetic calorimeter. Predictions from
perturbative QCD calculations agree with the data within the theoretical
and experimental uncertainties."
