Abstract: The inclusive and dijet production cross-sections have been measured for jets containing b-hadrons (b-jets) in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √ s = 7 TeV, using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurements use data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb−1. The b-jets are identified using either a lifetime-based method, where secondary decay vertices of b-hadrons in jets are reconstructed using information from the tracking detectors, or a muon-based method where the presence of a muon is used to identify semileptonic decays of b-hadrons inside jets. The inclusive b-jet cross-section is measured as a function of transverse momentum in the range 20 < pT < 400 GeV and rapidity in the range |y| < 2.1. The bb-dijet cross-section is measured as a function of the dijet invariant mass in the range 110 < mjj < 760 GeV, the azimuthal angle difference between the two jets and the angular variable χ in two dijet mass regions. The results are compared with next-to-leading-order QCD predictions. Good agreement is observed between the measured crosssections and the predictions obtained using POWHEG + Pythia. MC@NLO + Herwig shows good agreement with the measured bb-dijet cross-section. However, it does not reproduce the measured inclusive cross-section well, particularly for central b-jets with large transverse momenta.

TL;DR: The DELPHI Vertex Detector has been upgraded for LEP200 with two layers of pixel detectors and 2 layers of ministrips as endcaps, thus covering the polar angular range between 10° and 21° and allowing for standalone pattern recognition as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The HERMES recoil detector as mentioned in this paper was designed to improve the selection of exclusive events by a direct measurement of the four-momentum of the recoiling particle, which was used to improve measurements of hard exclusive processes in charged-lepton nucleon scattering.

TL;DR: In this article, the energy dependence of the photon-proton total cross section, sigma(gamma p)(tot), was determined from e(+) p scattering data collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA at three values of the center-of-mass energy, W, of the gamma p system in the range 194
