Title: A measurement of b{bar b} production correlations using low-p{sub T} dimuons at CDF

Journal Article · · Bulletin of the American Physical Society
OSTI ID:374976

The authors present a measurement of the b{bar b} cross section at the CDF detector from the 1992-1993 run of the Tevatron Collider using the dual semimuonic decay of b{bar b} pair. For the study of kinematic correlations, the cross section has been measured for P{sub T}(b1) > 6.5 GeV, 7.5 GeV, amd 8.75 GeV and P{sub T} > 6.5 GeV. The authors have reduced the systematic error of the measurement with the improved tracking resolution with newly installed silicon vertex detector. By studying the charge correlations between like-sign and unlike-sign dimuons, the average B{bar B} mixing parameter has also been measured.
