Book Description
The authors present a number of recent results obtained at the Fermilab Tevatron for b[bar b] production in p[bar p] interactions. The preliminary CDF and D0 measurements of the inclusive b-quark production cross section at [radical]s = 630 GeV are compared with the UA1 results and the next-to-leading order QCD predictions. These results are used to compute the ratio of the cross sections at 630 GeV to 1800 GeV. The CDF results on the B meson differential cross section and [Lambda][sub b][sup 0] baryon production and decay properties at [radical]s = 1800 GeV are also presented.
