The Galactic Center 50 km s$^{-1}$ Molecular Cloud (50MC) is the mostremarkable molecular cloud in the Sagittarius A region. This cloud is acandidate for the massive star formation induced by cloud-cloud collision (CCC)with a collision velocity of $\sim30\rm~km~s^{-1}$ that is estimated from thevelocity dispersion. We observed the whole of the 50MC with a high angularresolution ($\sim2.0''\times1.4''$) in ALMA cycle 1 in the H$^{13}$CO$^+~J=1-0$and ${\rm C^{34}S}~J=2-1$ emission lines. We identified 241 and 129 bound coreswith a virial parameter of less than 2, which are thought to be gravitationallybound, in the H$^{13}$CO$^+$ and ${\rm C^{34}S}$ maps using the clumpfindalgorithm, respectively. In the CCC region, the bound ${\rm H^{13}CO^+}$ and${\rm C^{34}S}$ cores are 119 and 82, whose masses are $68~\%$ and $76~\%$ ofthose in the whole 50MC, respectively. The distribution of the core number andcolumn densities in the CCC are biased to larger densities than those in thenon-CCC region. The distributions indicate that the CCC compresses themolecular gas and increases the number of the dense bound cores. Additionally,the massive bound cores with masses of $>3000~M_{\odot}$ exist only in the CCCregion, although the slope of the core mass function (CMF) in the CCC region isnot different from that in the non-CCC region. We conclude that the compressionby the CCC efficiently formed massive bound cores even if the slope of the CMFis not changed so much by the CCC.
