Measurement of correlated $\mu$-$\overline{b}$ jet cross sections in p$\overline{p}$ collisions at \Sqrt s = 1.8 TeV

Abstract

We report on measurements of differential \mu - {\overline b} cross sections, where the muon is from a semi-leptonic b decay and the {\overline b} is identified using precision track reconstruction in jets. The semi-differential correlated cross sections, d\sigma/d\Et^{{\overline b}}, d\sigma/d\pt^{{\overline b}}, and d\sigma/d\delta\phi(\mu - {\overline b}) for \pt^{\mu}>~9~GeV/c, |\eta^{\mu}|~10~GeV, |\eta^{{\overline b}}|<~1.5, are presented and compared to next-to-leading order QCD calculations
