Small-angle muon and bottom-quark production in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV
The inclusive muon cross section, and the cross section for mouns originating from b quark decay, in the forward rapidity region of 2.4 < | ymu | < 3.2 were measured in this study. It was found that next-to-leading order QCD calculations underestimate b quark production by a factor of...

Streszczenie: | The inclusive muon cross section, and the cross section for mouns originating from b quark decay, in the forward rapidity region of 2.4 < | ymu | < 3.2 were measured in this study. It was found that next-to-leading order QCD calculations underestimate b quark production by a factor of 4 in this region. |
