##### Abstract [en]

The ratio of the cross section for pp̅ interactions producing a Z boson and at least one b-quark jet to the inclusive Z+jet cross section is measured using 4.2  fb-1 of pp̅ collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at √s=1.96  TeV. The Z→ℓ+- candidate events with at least one b jet are discriminated from Z+charm and light jet(s) events by a novel technique that exploits the properties of the tracks associated to the jet. The measured ratio is 0.0193±0.0027 for events having a jet with transverse momentum pT>20  GeV and pseudorapidity |η|≤2.5, which is the most precise to date and is consistent with theoretical predictions.
