Title: Cross section for b b ¯ production via dielectrons in d + Au collisions at s N N = 200 GeV

Abstract

We report a measurement of e+e- pairs from semileptonic heavy-flavor decays in d+Au collisions at s NN =200 GeV. By exploring the mass and transverse-momentum dependence of the yield, the bottom decay contribution can be isolated from charm, and quantified by comparison to pythia and mc@nlo simulations. The resulting $$ b\overline{b} $$-production cross section is σ$$dAu \atop{b\overline{b}} $$=1.37±0.28(stat)±0.46(syst) mb, which is equivalent to a nucleon-nucleon cross section of σ$$NN \atop{bb} $$=3.4±0.8(stat)±1.1(syst)μb.

abstractNote = {We report a measurement of e+e- pairs from semileptonic heavy-flavor decays in d+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV. By exploring the mass and transverse-momentum dependence of the yield, the bottom decay contribution can be isolated from charm, and quantified by comparison to pythia and mc@nlo simulations. The resulting $ b\overline{b} $-production cross section is σ$dAu \atop{b\overline{b}} $=1.37±0.28(stat)±0.46(syst) mb, which is equivalent to a nucleon-nucleon cross section of σ$NN \atop{bb} $=3.4±0.8(stat)±1.1(syst)μb.},

The shape difference due to the difference in acceptance between like-sign and unlike-sign pairs in PHENIX is clearly visible. Also shown are foreground like-sign pairs N±± (black points)more » and N±± corrected for the acceptance difference (red points).
