The analysis uses the data sample collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 36 pb(-1). The event selection requires a Z boson decaying into high P-T electrons or muons, and at least one b-jet, identified by its displaced vertex, with transverse momentum p(T) > 25 GeV and rapidity vertical bar y vertical bar < 2.1. After subtraction of background processes, the yield is extracted from the vertex mass distribution of the candidate b-jets. The ratio of this cross-section to the inclusive Z cross-section (the average number of b-jets per Z event) is also measured. Both results are found to be in good agreement with perturbative QCD predictions at next-to-leading order.", optnote="WOS:000299756800008", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=888), last updated on Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:08:25 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2011.11.059", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.1403", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2011.11.059", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1109.1403", language="English" }
