Resumo
The ratio of the cross section for pp̄ interactions producing a Z boson and at least one b-quark jet to the inclusive Z+jet cross section is measured using 4.2fb-1 of pp̄ collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at √s=1.96TeV. The Z→ + - candidate events with at least one b jet are discriminated from Z+charm and light jet(s) events by a novel technique that exploits the properties of the tracks associated to the jet. The measured ratio is 0.0193±0.0027 for events having a jet with transverse momentum p T>20GeV and pseudorapidity η≤2.5, which is the most precise to date and is consistent with theoretical predictions. © 2011 American Physical Society.
