Measurement of correlated $\mu -overlineb$ jet cross sections in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV

Abstract

We report on measurements of differential $\mu -\bar{b}$ cross sections, where the muon is from a semi-leptonic $b$ decay and the $\bar{b}$ is identified using precision track reconstruction in jets. The semi-differential correlated cross sections, d$\sigma$/d$\Et^{\bar b}$, d$\sigma$/d$\pt^{\bar b}$, and d$\sigma$/d$\delta \varphi (\mu -\bar{b})$ for $\pt^μ>$~9 GeV/c, $|{\eta }^{\mu }|<$~0.6, $\Et^{\bar b}>$~10 GeV, $|{\eta }^{\bar{b}}|<$~1.5, are presented and compared to next-to-leading order QCD calculations.
