Abstract We present preliminary measurements of the inclusive b-bbar jet production cross section using data taken by the CDF experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. Two secondary vertex tagged jets within | eta | < 1.2 are required; one of these tagged jets has to have a corrected transverse energy greater than 30 GeV, the other has to have a corrected transverse energy greater than 20 GeV. We compare our results to Leading Order (PYTHIA and HERWIG) and Next to Leading Order (MC@NLO) predictions.
