Measurement of bottom quark production in 1.8 TeV pp-bar collisions using muons from b-quark decays. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We present a measurement of the b-quark cross section in 1.8 TeV p-p collisions recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab using muonic b-quark decays. In the central rapidity region (yb1.0), the cross section is 2952175 nb (591415 nb) for pTb>21 GeV/c (29 GeV/c). Comparisons are made to previous measurements and next-to-leading order QCD calculations. 1993 The American Physical Society.
