The data used in this analysis were taken with the upgraded CDF detector (CDF II) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 742   pb-1. We utilize muon pairs with invariant mass 5≤mμμ≤80  GeV/c2 produced by bb̅ double semileptonic decays. For muons with pT≥3  GeV/c and |η|≤0.7, that are produced by b and b̅ quarks with pT≥2  GeV/c and |y|≤1.3, we measure σb→μ,b̅ →μ=1549±133  pb. We compare this result with theoretical predictions and previous measurements. We also report the measurement of σc→μ,c̅ →μ, a by-product of the study of the background to bb̅ production.
