Abstract We present differental measurements of beauty production cross sections in ep collisions performed with the H1 detector at HERA. We use data collected at an ep centre-of-mass energy of 320 GeV in the years 1999-2000, corresponding to a large improvement in statistics compared to previous analyses. The b flavoured hadrons are identified through their semi-muonic decay and their decay length. The results are compared with Monte Carlo models based on leading order QCD and with next-to-leading order QCD calculations.
