Study of the associated production of photons and $b$ -quark jets in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV$

Open Access

The cross section for photon production in association with at least one jet containing a

b

quark has been measured in proton antiproton collisions at

\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV

. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of

340 {pb}^{- 1}

collected with the CDF II detector. Both the differential cross section as a function of photon transverse energy

E_{T}^{γ}

and the total cross section are measured and compared to a next-to-leading order prediction for the process.
