Abstract

A measurement is presented of the cross-section for b-jet production in association with a Z boson in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=7 TeV. 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 pt electrons or muons, and a b-jet, identified by its displaced vertex, with transverse momentum pt>25 GeV and rapidity |y|
