Abstract
We report a measurement of the production cross section for hadrons in collisions at . Using a data sample derived from an integrated luminosity of collected with the upgraded Collider Detector (CDF II) at the Fermilab Tevatron, we analyze hadrons, , partially reconstructed in the semileptonic decay mode . Our measurement of the inclusive production cross section for hadrons with transverse momentum and rapidity is , where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and from branching fractions, respectively. The differential cross sections are found to be in good agreement with recent measurements of the cross section and well described by fixed-order next-to-leading logarithm predictions.
