We have measured the b-quark production cross section for |y| < 1 using a sample of muons with associated jets collected with the DØ detector in $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 630 GeV$$ at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measured b-quark cross section is consistent in shape with $$O {(\alpha^3_s)}$$ QCD predictions, but exceeds them in normalization by roughly a factor of 2.5.
