The W+b-jets process poses a significant background in measurements of top quark production and prominent searches for the Higgs boson. We measure a b-jet cross section of 2.74±0.27(stat)±0.42(syst)  pb in association with a single flavor of leptonic W boson decay over a limited kinematic phase space. This measured result cannot be accommodated in several available theoretical predictions.}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, publisher = {Physical Review Letters, vol. 104, iss 13, art. num. 131801 (2010)}, title = {First Measurement of the b-Jet Cross Section in Events with a W Boson in pp̅ Collisions at √s=1.96  TeV}, author = {Aaltonen, Timo Antero and Akimoto, Takashi and Álvarez González, Bárbara and Amerio, Silvia and Amidei, Dante and Anastassov, Anton and Annovi, Alberto and Antos, Jaroslav and Apollinari, Giorgio and Apresyan, Artur and Casal Laraña, Bruno and Cuevas Maestro, Francisco Javier and Gómez Gramuglio, Gervasio and Rodrigo Anoro, Teresa and Ruiz Jimeno, Alberto and Scodellaro, Luca and Vila Álvarez, Iván and Vilar Cortabitarte, Rocío and Arisawa, Tetsuo and Adelman, Jahred}, }
