Examples

  • You may define the corresponding fraction of all the events and normalize it in the same way as you would do with bottom-antibottom collisions.

    The Reference Frame 2008

  • If you now interpret the Tevatron as a machine where you effectively collide bottom-antibottom pairs, it has a smaller luminosity because only a small portion of the proton-antiproton collisions included protons and antiprotons that were "ready to make heavy flavor collisions".

    The Reference Frame 2008

  • There are no bottom-antibottom pairs in the initial states of these "ghost events" so you can't simplify the calculation by assuming that they have bottom-antibottom initial states.

    The Reference Frame 2008

  • Could be a pair of top-antitop or bottom antibottom or two photons or two Z0s … OK!
