In this analysis we measure the cross sections for production of bottom quarks in $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$=l.8 TeV. We measure inclusive integral rates above mtmmum bottom transverse momentum (Pt) = 15, 25 and 35 GeV /c, using the muon decay channel of bottom quarks. We measure the fraction of bottom muons in the inclusive muon samples using impact parameter information given by precision tracking and calculate bottom cross sections by combining the bottom muon fraction with other experimental efficiencies and acceptance.
