Inclusive high-transverse momentum bottom quark antibottom quark cross section measurement at center of mass energy = 1.96 TeV
Abstract
The Run II physics program at the Tevatron started in the spring of 2001 with protons and antiprotons colliding at an energy of s = 1.96 TeV, and is continuing with about 1.2 fb-1 of data currently collected by the CDF and DO experiments. A measurement of the b-jet cross section as function of jet transverse momentum p⊥ has been performed using 312 pb-1 of DO data. The results for this measurement were obtained and are presented herein. A neural network algorithm was used to identify b jets.
