Abstract:

A new technique to measure the ratio of b quark fragmentation fractions in pp̄ collisions is described. Using a 70-pb-1 sample of low-mass dimuon trigger data recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab, we identify B mesons by observing the double semileptonic decays b→c μX with c→s μX. By counting the numbers of K*(892)0, K*(892)+, and φ(1020) mesons produced in association with these muon pairs, we measure the ratio of strange to nonstrange B meson production to be fs/(fu+fd)=[21.0±3.6(stat) -3.0+3.8(syst)]%. This measurement is the most precise available from hadron collisions to date. Limits on the branching fractions of semileptonic charm meson decays with K1(1270), K1* (1410), and K2*(1430) mesons in the final state are also obtained. ©1999 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present the first measurement of associated direct photon+muon production in hadronic collisions, from a sample of 1.8 TeV pp collisions recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that these events are primarily from the Compton scattering process cg→cγ, with the final state charm quark producing a muon. Hence this measurement is sensitive to the charm quark content of the proton. The measured cross section of 29±9 pb is compared to a leading-order QCD parton shower model as well as a next-to-leading-order QCD calculation. ©1999 The American Physical Society.
