Measurement of the Cross Section for open b-Quark Production in Two-Photon Interactions at LEP

Inclusive \beauty-quark production in two-photon collisions has been measured at LEP using an integrated luminosity of $698\mathrm{pb}^{-1}\,$ collected by the ALEPH detector with $\sqrt{s}$ between 130 and 209 \GeV . The b quarks were identified using lifetime information. The cross section is foun...

Sumario:Inclusive \beauty-quark production in two-photon collisions has been measured at LEP using an integrated luminosity of $698\mathrm{pb}^{-1}\,$ collected by the ALEPH detector with $\sqrt{s}$ between 130 and 209 \GeV . The b quarks were identified using lifetime information. The cross section is found to be \[ \mathrm{ \sigma(e^+ e^- \rightarrow e^+ e^- b \bar{b}\, X) = (5.4\pm 0.8\,_{stat} \pm 0.8\,_{syst}} )\,\mathrm{pb},\] which is consistent with Next-to-Leading Order QCD.
