Study of the associated production of photons and b-quark jets in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV

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