We discuss the potential of measurements of \sigma(p p -> b\bar{b}) toconstrain new bosonic degrees of freedom at the LHC when pT > \sqrt{s}/11 TeVfor a pseudorapidity cut |\eta| < 2.4. By suppressing the NLO QCD production ofb\bar{b} pairs through simple kinematic constraints we show how to moreefficiently exploit CMS's reach out to 1.5 TeV in pT for B mesons in searchesfor new physics. Using this technique we investigate the potential fordiscovery of new massive spin one and spin zero SU_c(3) octet bosons byanalyzing their effect on the d\sigma(p p -> b\bar{b})/d pT^2 distribution. Insome cases, the tree level contributions are small and the largest effect ofnew physics on the pT tail of the distribution is due to one-loop resonants-channel production or interference effects with the LO standard modelproduction mechanisms q\bar{q}, g g -> b\bar{b}. We explore this possibility insome detail when the standard model is extended with an (8,2)_{1/2} scalarmotivated by Minimal Flavor Violation.
