Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 500–504 (1993)Measurement of the bottom quark production cross section using semileptonic decay electrons in pp¯ collisions at √s =1.8 TeVReceived 20 April 1993; published in the issue dated 26 July 1993 We present measurements of the bottom-quark production cross sections in pp¯ collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. From the inclusive electron production rate, we have determined the bottom-quark production cross sections to be 1010±270, 168±43, 37±10 nb for the rapidity range of ‖yb‖<1.0 and the transverse momentum ranges of pTb>15, 23, 32 GeV/c, respectively. In addition, from the associated electron-D0 production rate, we have determined the bottom-quark cross section to be 364±80(stat)±95(syst) nb for ‖yb‖<1.0 and pTb>19 GeV/c. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
