Abstract
We have studied the production of the inclusive electrons and the bottom quark in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 Te V. In the QCD-improved parton model, the production of heavy quarks in hadron collisions is described in terms of the parton-parton hard scattering cross sections, proton structure functions and the coupling constant of the strong interactions. Recent calculations of the heavy quark production cross sections in the next-to-leading order show that the correction to the lowest order is large. The analysis presented here is the first measurement of the bottom quark production at the Tevatron energy, and thus provides a good testing ground for the above picture.
