Abstract
We report a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry, AFB, in b¯b pairs produced in proton- antiproton collisions and identified by muons from semileptonic b-hadron decays. The event sample is collected at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 1.96 TeV with the CDF II detector and corresponds to 6.9 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. We obtain an integrated asymmetry of AFB(b¯b)= (1.2 ± 0.7)% at the particle level for b-quark pairs with invariant mass, mb¯b, down to 40 GeV/c2 and measure the dependence of AFB(b¯b) on mb¯b. The results are compatible with expectations from the standard model.
