Heavy Flavor Production at CDF

We present a new measurements of the bottom and charm quark cross sections
using recent data taken by CDF. Events with a b \to J/\psi X decay
followed by J/\psi\to \mu^+ \mu^- are used to measure the bottom cross
section. These events were collected using a dimuon trigger which has a
lower muon p_T threshold than Run-I CDF,making
this measurement sensitive to the entire range of b hadron transverse
momenta. Fully reconstructed modes involving charmed D mesons are used
to measure the charm meson cross section. The charm sample was collected
using the new displaced track trigger which selects events enriched in
heavy hadrons.
