    abstract = "We describe a measurement of the ratio of the cross sections times
branching fractions of the B-c(+) meson in the decay mode B-c(+) ->
J/psi mu(+)nu to the B+ meson in the decay mode B+ -> J/psi K+ in
proton-antiproton collisions at center-of-mass energy root s = 1.96 TeV.
The measurement is based on the complete CDF Run II data set, which
comes from an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb(-1). The ratio of the
production cross sections times branching fractions for B-c(+) and B+
mesons with momentum transverse to the beam greater than 6 GeV/c and
rapidity magnitude smaller than 0.6 is 0.211 +/-
0.012(stat)(-0.020)(+0.021)(syst). Using the known B+ -> J/psi K+
branching fraction, the known B+ production cross section, and a
selection of the predicted B-c(+) -> J/psi mu(+nu) branching fractions,
the range for the total B-c(+) production cross section is estimated."
