Measurement of B c production cross section in p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV
Abstract
We measured B c meson production cross section using semileptonic decay channel, B c → J/Ψev. Background contributions from fake electron, electron from photon pair production and b$$\bar{b}$$ contamination were estimated using hadron tracks in data and from Monte Carlo simulations.

Measurement of $$Z/\gamma^* + b$$-jet Production Cross section in $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}= 1.96$$ TeV with the CDF detector
Processes at hadron colliders, such as the production of jets, are described by the Quantum Chromodynamics theory (QCD). Precise descriptions of processes involving jets in association with a vector boson have nowadays large relevance as they represent irreducible background to other Standard Model (SM) processes and searches for new physics. The experimental study and understanding of the b-jet production in association with a Z boson are crucial for many reasons. For one side, it is the most important background for a light Higgs boson decaying into a bottom-antibottom quark pair and produced in the ZH mode.This is one of the most promising channels for the Higgs search at Tevatron in particular since the latest results have excluded the high mass region (MH > 127 GeV/c 2 ). For another side the signature of b-jets and a Z boson is also background to new physics searches, such as supersymmetry, where a large coupling of the Higgs boson to bottom quarks is allowed. The produ ction cross section measurement of b-jets in events with a Z boson has already been performed at hadron colliders, at the Tevatron by CDF and D0 experiments and are now pursued at the LHC by ATLAS and CMS. In particular the CDF measurement was performed with only 2 fb -1 and was limited by the statistical uncertainty. This PhD thesis presents a new measurement of themore » -
