The authors present measurements of the b{bar b} production cross section and angular correlations between the b and {bar b}-quarks in p{bar p} collisions using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron operating at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. The b-quark production cross section for {vert_bar}y{sup b}{vert_bar} < 1.0 and {rho}{sub {tau}}{sup b} > 8 GeV/c is extracted and found to be consistent with next-to-leading order QCD predictions. In addition, the angular correlations between the b and {bar b}-quarks are found to agree in shape with next-to-leading order QCD predictions.
