Correlations in Bottom Quark Pair Production at the Fermilab TeVatron

Correlations in Bottom Quark Pair Production at the Fermilab TeVatron

I present an analysis of bb pair production correlations, using dimuon-triggered data collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) in pp collisions at a/s=1.96 TeV during Run II of the TeVatron. The leading order (LO) and next-to-leading order (NLO) b quark production processes are discrim...
