Measurement of the b-jet Cross section in events with a Z Boson

Document(s) Web Page       Public Note Contact(s) Lorenzo Ortolan, Stefano Camarda, Veronica Sorin, Mario Martinez Abstract Preliminary results on the b jet production cross section for events with a Z boson (decaying leptonically) are presented. Measurements are performed using the full CDF dataset. Events are selected by requiring two high pT electrons or muons and high pT central jets, among which jets are further required to be b-tagged. The results are compared with predictions from ALPGEN and NLO QCD calculations. Comments Last Update: March 2012       Dataset: Full dataset (9.1 fb-1)
