F. Abe et al., MEASUREMENT OF BOTTOM QUARK PRODUCTION IN 1.8 TEV P(P)OVER-BAR COLLISIONS USING MUONS FROM B-QUARK DECAYS, Physical review letters, 71(15), 1993, pp. 2396-2400
We present a measurement of the b-quark cross section in 1.8 TeV p-pBA
R collisions recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab using muo
nic b-quark decays. In the central rapidity region (\y(b)\ < 1.0), the
cross section is 295 +/- 21 +/- 75 nb (59 +/- 14 +/- 15 nb) for p(T)b
> 21 GeV/c (29 GeV/c). Comparisons are made to previous measurements
and next-to-leading order QCD calculations.
