The current research is focused on beauty quark production, with subsequent fragmentation into open flavour mesons and baryons. The integral cross sections, differential distributions, correlations in transverse momentum, rapidity, and azimuthal angle space are computed under conditions of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Impact of processes beyond the leading order in the perturbative QCD on the observables in pp scattering is investigated with MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. Virtual and real emission corrections are accounted for. The research is directed at consistent merging of the hard partonic processes with different multiplicities and matching them to the parton showers. Hadronization dynamics of the heavy quarks is planned to be studied within the Colour Reconnection Beyond Leading Colour model. Effect of the multiparticle hadronization mechanisms on the observables is to be scrutinized. These studies are performed taking advantage of Pythia 8 event generator.
