Heavy Flavour Production

Abstract

Recent progress in Heavy Flavour Production phenomenology are discussed. In particular, the long-standing discrepancy of the Tevatron b production data is considered. It is shown that a better use of e^+e^- data in constraining the effect of fragmentation reduces the discrepancy considerably.
