8. 05/11/02Jianchun (JC) Wang8 Estimated Cross-section  This measurement ( average of all points ): s = (0.99  0.10) pb.  Continuum and BB background are estimated using data set 8, 10 and 11, assuming BB cross-section above 4S is 250pb.  Continuum (non-b): s (continuum) = ( 0.35  0.05 ) pb.  BB meson: s (BB) = ( 0.21  0.02 ) pb.  Sum of the two: s (continuum) + s (BB) = ( 0.56  0.04 ) pb.  Signal is estimated using MC: s ( L b ) = 1.68 pb assuming:   b  b production cross-section is 50 pb.  Br( L b  L c X)  Br( L c  pK p) = 100%  5% = 5%.  The excess is (0.43  0.11) pb, equivalent to  b  b production cross- section of (12.8  3.3) pb. ( Preliminary !!! )

9. 05/11/02Jianchun (JC) Wang9 Further Check  The efficiency could be different due to different beam energy. We simulated BB event and continuum event at 10.58 and 11.27 GeV. The efficiency shows no difference.  Based on continuum MC simulation, and 3 nb hadronic cross-section at 10.58 GeV we estimate that s = 0.40 pb in comparison with (0.35  0.05 ) pb from 4S data estimation.  PDG gives Br( B  L c X)  Br( L c  pK p) = (6.4  1.1)%  (5.0  1.3)%. Based on this we estimate that contribution from BB is s = 0.53 pb, more than double of (0.21  0.02 ) pb estimated from 4S data.  John Yelton’s CBX: Br( B  L c X)  Br( L c  pK p) = (2.15  0.08)  10 -3 Using this value and MC efficiency, we get s = (0.35  0.01) pb.  Both estimations from 4S data and MC may not be good enough. We need MC using current detector condition.

11. 05/11/02Jianchun (JC) Wang11 Estimated Cross-section  This measurement (average of all points): s = (14.83  0.19) pb.  Continuum and BB background are estimated using data set 8, 10 and 11, assuming BB cross-section above 4S is 250pb.  Continuum (non-b): s (continuum) = ( 7.08  0.09 ) pb.  BB meson: s (BB) = ( 3.32  0.03 ) pb.  Sum of the two: s (continuum) + s (BB) = ( 10.40  0.09 ) pb  After correction ( 11.54  0.10 ) pb.  Signal is estimated using MC: s ( L b ) = (8.61  0.15) pb for 50 pb  b  b production cross-section is.  The excess is (3.29  0.21) pb, equivalent to  b  b production cross- section of (17.1  1.3) pb.  Using only antiproton, the excess is equivalent to  b  b production cross-section of (18.2  1.7) pb. ( Preliminary !!! )

12. 05/11/02Jianchun (JC) Wang12 Estimated Cross-section  We thought that the muon efficiency would be higher at 11.27GeV.  MC of selected event did not show significant difference.  In proton/lepton events, the ratio of muon to electron are 0.504 for BB and 0.657 for continuum estimated from 4S data, while current data shows 0.780. This could be due to detector inefficiency.  In rough estimation we increase the muon contribution to background by 29%.  The QQ decay table was tuned by Steve Blusk, we still have problem with pass2 using the new table.

15. 05/11/02Jianchun (JC) Wang15 Need to Be Considered  The beam energy issue (see Dan’s talk).  The absolute value of integrated luminosity.  The BB cross-section in this region, contribution from other b-mesons.  The detector efficiency. We need to have realistic MC.

16. 05/11/02Jianchun (JC) Wang16 Summary  The L b scan is still going on.  Preliminary quick results show that there are excess in both L c, and proton/lepton methods, which might come from L b. The nature of such excess is yet to be determined.  We are going to run at even lower point.
