abstract
We present a measurement of the cross section and the first measurement of the heavy flavor content of associated direct photon + muon events produced in hadronic collisions. These measurements come from a sample of [Formula Presented] [Formula Presented] collisions recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that these events are primarily due to the Compton scattering process [Formula Presented] with the final-state charm quark producing a muon. The cross section for events with a photon transverse momentum between 12 and [Formula Presented] is measured to be [Formula Presented] which is two standard deviations below the most recent theoretical calculation. A significant fraction of the events in the sample contain a final-state bottom quark. The ratio of charm to bottom production is measured to be [Formula Presented] in good agreement with QCD models. 2001 The American Physical Society.
