# Measurement of the b-jet Cross Section in Events with a W Boson in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV

Abstract : The cross section for jets from b quarks produced simultaneously with a W boson has been measured in ppbar collision data from 1.9/fb of integrated luminosity recorded by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron. Jets consistent with the decay of long-lived hadrons are selected by identifying a displaced decay vertex. The invariant mass of the charged particle tracks associated with the vertex is sensitive to the flavor of the decaying hadron and is used to determine the fraction of jets from b-quark production. We measure a b-jet cross section of 2.74 +- 0.27(stat.) +- 0.42(syst.) pb in association with one flavor of leptonic W boson decay over a limited kinematic phase space.
