چکیده

The first data on bottom quark production in pp̄ collisions at 1.96 TeV have recently been obtained by the CDF collaboration. These data probe the region of pT ∼ 0, providing a new invaluable input on the issue of the compatibility between next-to-leadingorder (NLO) QCD and data. We reconsider the evaluation of the b cross section, in view of recent theoretical developments, and of the latest inputs on structure function fits. We show that the new CDF measurements are in good agreement with NLO QCD. If CDF preliminary data are confirmed, a long-standing discrepancy between NLO QCD predictions and hadron-collider data can be settled.

We present recent QCD results from the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.96TeV. Results are presented for the inclusive jet and dijet cross sections, a measurement of dijet azimuthal decorrelations, studies of elastic scattering, and a search for diffractively produced Z bosons.

B Physics at CDF

Due to the large bb cross section at 1.96TeV p− p̄ collisions, the Tevatron is currently the most copious source of B hadrons. Recent detector upgrades for Run II have made these more accessible, allowing for a wide range of B and 6 CP physics with B hadrons of all flavours. In this paper we present B-physics results, and, using the versatile hadronic Two Track Trigger, a search for Ξ(1860), fro...

In this research, we are going to study the QCD penguin structure and calculate the second order approximation. The amplitude of decays related to QCD penguin in the quark model up to the first and second orders were calculated. We calculated the amplitude of QCD penguin on lowest order of αs for the first order of the decay processes b→qkg→qkqiqj and for the second order of the decay processes...
