====== TTP02-20 Understanding Bottom Production ======
 
 
   <hidden TTP02-20  Understanding Bottom Production > We describe calculations of $b \overline b$
 production to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and next-to-next-to-leading 
 logarithm (NNLL) near threshold in $pp$ interactions.  Our calculations are
 in good agreement with the $b \overline b$ total cross section measured by HERA-B.
