Measurement of the rate of b(b)over-bar-b(b)over-bar events in hadronic Z decays and the extraction of the gluon splitting into b(b)over-bar

The rate Z → bb̄bb̄ was measured using about 2×106 hadronic decays collected by the DELPHI experiment in 1994 and 1995. Events were forced into 3-jets with ymin > 0.06 and a b-tag was required for every jet. The rate was measured to be: R4b = BR(Z → bb̄bb̄)/BR(Z → hadrons), = (6.0 ± 1.9(stst....
