First measurement of the b-jet cross section in events with a W boson in pp collisions at square root(s) = 1.96 TeV.

First measurement of the b-jet cross section in events with a W boson in pp collisions at square root(s) = 1.96 TeV.

The cross section for jets from b quarks produced with a W boson has been measured in pp collision data from 1.9 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity recorded by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron. The W+b-jets process poses a significant background in measurements of top quark production and prominent...
