DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe authors present measurements of the b[bar b] production cross section and angular correlations between the b and[bar b]-quarks in p[bar p] collisions using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron operating at[radical]s= 1.8 TeV. The b-quark production cross section for[vert-bar]y[sup b][vert-bar]1.0 and[rho][sub[tau]][sup b] 8 GeV/c is extracted and found to be consistent with next-to-leading order QCD predictions. In addition, the angular correlations between the b and[bar b]-quarks are found to agree in shape with next-to-leading order QCD predictions.
