We discuss heavy-flavor production at hadron colliders in recent global QCD analyses to determine parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the proton. We discuss heavy-flavor treatments in precision theory predictions at the LHC. In…
Conventional perturbative QCD calculations on the production of a heavy quark ``$H$'' consist of two contrasting approaches: the usual QCD parton formalism uses the zero-mass approximation ($m_H=0$) once above threshold, and treats $H$ just…
Various aspects of heavy flavor production in heavy ion collisions in the context of elementary collisions are reviewed. The interplay between theory in experiment in $\epem$ and $\pbarp$ data is been found to be non-trivial, even with new…

Heavy-flavor hadron production, in particular bottom hadron production, is difficult to study in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments due to small production rates and branching fractions. To overcome these limitations, a method for…
