Abstract
An inclusive measurement of the average multiplicity of b (b) over bar pairs from gluons, g(b (b) over bar), in hadronic Z(0) events collect ed by the DELPHI experiment at LEP, is presented. A counting technique , based on jet b-tagging in 4-jet events, has been used. Looking for s econdary bottom production in events with production of any primary fl avour, by requiring two b-tagged jets in well defined topological conf igurations, gave g(b (b) over bar) = (0.21 +/- 0.11(stat) +/- 0.09(sys t))%. This result was checked with a different method designed to sele ct events with four b quarks in the final state. Agreement within the errors was found. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
