Abstract
We calculate the production of multiple B mesons in hadron collisions, BBBB final states result from multiple parton interactions, higher-order QCD processes, and from overlapping events in the detector. With imperfect detectors and partial phase space coverage such events are the origin of BB and BB events which confuse the signature of B-B mixing and CP violation.
