Measurement of the B+ production cross section in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1960 GeV

Creators

Description

The authors present a new measurement of the B+ meson differential cross section dσ/dPT at √s = 1960 GeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 739 pb-1 collected with the upgraded CDF detector (CDF II) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. B+ candidates are reconstructed through the decay B+ → J/ψ K+, with J/ψ → μ+μ-. The integrated cross section for producing B+ mesons with pT (ge) 6 GeV/c and |y| (le) 1 is measured to be 2.78 ± 0.24 μb
