Abstract: The $\mathrm{B}^+$ meson differential cross sections, as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity, are measured in pp collisions at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, on the basis of a data sample collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 50.8 pb $^{-1}$ . The measurement uses the exclusive decay channel $\mathrm{ B^+ \to J/\psi K^+ }$ , with the $\mathrm{ J } / \psi$ decaying to a pair of muons. The results are compared with theory calculations and with measurements made at 7 TeV.
