Abstract
Using the data collected with the D0 detector at , for integrated luminosities of about , we have measured the ratio of inclusive cross sections for to production. The inclusive reaction is an important background to searches for the Higgs boson in associated production at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Our measurement is the first of its kind, and relies on the and modes. The combined measurement of the ratio yields for hadronic jets with transverse momenta and pseudorapidities , consistent with next-to-leading-order predictions of the standard model.
