Measurement of the Bottom Quark Contribution to Nonphotonic Electron Production in p+p Collisions at √s=200  GeV

The contribution of B meson decays to nonphotonic electrons, which are mainly produced by the semileptonic decays of heavy-flavor mesons, in p+p collisions at √s=200 [square root of s=200] GeV has been measured using azimuthal correlations between nonphotonic electrons and hadrons. The extracted B d...
