Investigation of Heavy Quark Production by Gluon Splitting from Analysis of Muons in QCD Jets at the D0 Detector at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
- Hawaii U.
The production of b and c quarks in QCD jets from $$p\overline{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$ =l.8 TeV is investigated using decays to muons and hadronic debris. The results are based on data collected at the D0 experiment during the 1992-1993 FermiLab collider run. Two jet events are investigated and the rate for $$b\overline{b}$$ and $$c\overline{c}$$ from gluon splitting is compared with analytic estimates based on perturbative QCD to $$O(\alpha^3_s$$). Reasonable agreement is observed. The characteristics of gluon splitting to $$b\overline{b}$$ and $$c\overline{c}$$ followed by quark decay to a muon are interpreted statistically based on the HERWIG Monte Carlo.
