Total cross sections of beauty and charmed mesons on protons

Using a simple scaling law we predict the values of the total cross sections {sigma}(B{plus_minus}p), {sigma}B{sub d,s}{sup 0}, {sigma}({bar B}{sub d,s}{sup 0}P), {sigma}(D{sub d,s}{sup {plus_minus}}P), {sigma}(D{sup 0}p), {sigma}({bar D}{sup 0}p) from known total K{sub p} cross sections. We assume that mesons with the same light valence quark, q, and differing only by their heavy valence quark content, Q, have total cross sections on protons which scale as the inverse of the nth power of the reduced mass of the meson. We predict that {sigma}(Q{bar q})p > {sigma}({bar Q}q)p
