We report the first direct measurement of <b(b)over bar> rapidity correlati ons in <p(p)over bar> collisions at root s=1.8 TeV. We select events with a high transverse momentum muon accompanied by a jet, and a second jet assoc iated with a decay vertex displaced from the pp interaction vertex. Two ind ependent samples are obtained corresponding to events with a forward (2.0<\ eta\<2.6) or central (\eta\<0.6) muon. We measure the ratio of forward to c entral <b(b)over bar> production to be 0.361 +/- 0.033( stat)(-0.031)(+0/01 5)(syst), in good agreement with the next-to-leading order QCD prediction 0 .338(-0.097)(+0.014).
