Bottom quark anti-quark production and mixing in proton anti-proton collisions
- Yale Univ., New Haven, CT (United States)
The studies of bottom quark-antiquark production in proton-antiproton collisions play an important role in testing perturbative QCD. Measuring the mixing parameter of B mesons imposes constraints on the quark mixing (CKM) matrix and enhances the understanding of the Standard Model. Multi-GeV p$$\bar{p}$$ colliders produce a significant amount of b$$\bar{b}$$ pairs and thus enable studies in both of these fields. This thesis presents results of the b$$\bar{b}$$ production cross section from p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV and the time-integrated average B$$\bar{B}$$ mixing parameter ($$\bar{χ}$$) using highmass dimuon d a ta collected by CDF during its Run IB.
