Transverse momentum spectra of charmed and beauty mesons produced in protonproton and proton-antiproton collisions at high energies are analyzed within the modified quark-gluon string model (QGSM). We got a satisfactory description of the experimental data on pt spectra of Dand B-mesons produced in the p− p̄ collisions which were obtained by the CDF Collaboration at the Tevatron at 1.5(GeV/c) 6(GeV/c), which have a big uncertainty, except for the kinematic region of very high pt, where pt > 20.(GeV/c). It can be due to the contribution of gluons inside the colliding proton and antiproton which can interact with other gluons and quarks(antiquarks) and fragmentate to charmed mesons. This effect is not included in the presented QGSM. The results show that the QGSM can be used to analyze transverse momentum spectra of charmed and beauty mesons produced both in p− p and p− p̄ collisions at very high energies up to the LHC energies. We compare also our predictions for the LHC with the calculations on the charm and beauty quark production in p − p collision obtained within the NLO QCD by the ALICE Collaboration.
