5. General strategies • Inclusive single (di-) muon sample, inclusive (di-) muon cross section, extract b-quark cross section using pTrel (D0: PLB487, PRL84, PRL74) or using “given” fraction fb (D0 note 3632, CDF: PRL71,2396) • Inclusive muons + jets, b-jet cross section using pTrel (D0: PRL 85, D0 note 3703, D0 note 3705 (quarks), D0 note 3734) • Inclusive J/ sample, inclusive b-quark cross section using muon transverse impact parameter (D0: PLB370) or mass + secondary vertex (CDF: PRL75) • Muon + jet, second jet with displaced vertex (CDF: PRD61) • Inclusive electron production, extract b-quark cross section using charge correlations and pTrel (CDF: PRL71,500) • Exclusive BJ/K, J/  (CDF: PRL68) 5

6. Inclusive (di-) muons • Muon trigger • dsm/dx = (1/LDx)x(N f/e) • X = pTm, ym • N = number of tagged (fitted) muons • f = muon momentum unsmearing factor • e = detection efficiency • sb(pT>pTmin)= dsm/dpT fb  a  … • fb = b fraction, based onpTrel, likelihood fit, MC • a = pT>pTmin correction factor (from MC) 6

7. Inclusive J/ • Trigger: 2 muons • J/ inclusive cross section using Mmm, Im, pTrelmm • fb from opposite sign dimuon impact parameter and mass (D0, 1996) or reconstructed secondary vertex ct and mass (CDF, 1995) 7

8. Inclusive muons + jets • Trigger: muon + jet • dsb/dET = (Ufb / 2BLDxeA)x(DN/DET) • U(ET) = jet energy resolution smearing • fb(ET) = b-fraction using pTrel • B = branching fraction for bm+X • A = muon tagging acceptance correction • e = muon + jet detection efficiency • Fb is dominant source of error on cross section 8

9. Dominating uncertainties • b-fraction (tagging / MC) 9%-39% • Integrated Luminosity 5%-10% • Trigger efficiency 3%-19% • Offline selection efficiency 4%-6% • Jet ET scale 15%-8% • Jet ET resolution 7%-3% • Tagging acceptance 9%-12% • Muon momentum resolution 6%-41% • Other background subtraction ~15% 9
