Abstract

We present measurements of the B⁺meson total cross section and differential cross section dσ/dp_T. The measurements use a 98±4 pb^-1sample of pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV collected by the CDF detector. Charged B meson candidates are reconstructed through the decay B^±→J|ψ^±with J|ψ→µ⁺µ^-. The total cross section, measured in the central rapidity region |y|<1.0 for p_T(B)>6.0 GeV/c, is 3.6±0.6(stat ⊕ syst) µb. The measured differential cross section is substantially larger than typical QCD predictions calculated to next-to-leading order.
