Measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry in low-mass bottom-quark pairs produced in proton-antiproton collisions
Abstract
We report a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry, AFB, in bb pairs produced in proton-antiproton collisions and identified by muons from semileptonic b-hadron decays. The event sample is collected at a center-of-mass energy of $$ \sqrt{s}=1.96 $$ TeV with the CDF II detector and corresponds to 6.9 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. We obtain an integrated asymmetry of AFB(bb)=(1.2±0.7)% at the particle level for b-quark pairs with invariant mass, mbb, down to 40 GeV/c2 and measure the dependence of AFB(bb) on mbb. The results are compatible with expectations from the standard model.

abstractNote = {We report a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry, AFB, in bb pairs produced in proton-antiproton collisions and identified by muons from semileptonic b-hadron decays. The event sample is collected at a center-of-mass energy of $ \sqrt{s}=1.96 $ TeV with the CDF II detector and corresponds to 6.9 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. We obtain an integrated asymmetry of AFB(bb)=(1.2±0.7)% at the particle level for b-quark pairs with invariant mass, mbb, down to 40 GeV/c2 and measure the dependence of AFB(bb) on mbb. The results are compatible with expectations from the standard model.},

TABLE I: AFB prediction from Ref. [27] for different regions of bb̄ invariant mass. The integral values for each bin are shown. The first contribution to the uncertainties on the predictions comes from neglecting higher-order QCD terms, while the second comes from varying the factorization and renormalization scales.
