Book excerpt: We report on a measurement of small angle muon production (2.4[vert-bar][ital y][sup[mu]][vert-bar]3.2) in[ital p][ital[anti p]] collisions at[radical]s= 1.8 TeV with the D[null] detector at Fermilab. We have determined the fraction of the inclusive[mu] cross section in this region due to[ital b]-quark production and decay. Combining this measurement with our previously measured cross section in the central region, we calculate[ital d][sigma]/[ital dy] for muons from[ital b] decay with[ital p][sup[mu]][sub T] 5 GeV/c and[ital p][sup[mu]][sub T] 8 GeV/c. These measurements are compared to next-to-leading order QCD calculations.
