The Fermilab Tevatron offers unique opportunities to perform measurements of the heavier B hadrons that are not accessible at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. In this summary, we describe some recent heavy flavor results from the DO and CDF…
Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are produced early in the nucleus-nucleus collisions, and heavy flavor survives throughout the later stages. Measurements of heavy-flavor quarks thus provide us with means to understand the properties of the…
The production of charm and beauty quarks in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions at LEP, $ep$ collisions at HERA and $p \bar{p}$ collisions at the Tevatron is discussed. The comparison with predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD and the issues it…
I discuss few selected topics in heavy flavour photoproduction at HERA which require large integrated luminosity in order to be experimentally investigated. I present phenomenological predictions for bottom production. As a possible…

The study of angular correlations of heavy-flavor particles in hadronic collisions can provide crucial insight into the heavy quark production, showering, and hadronization processes. The comparison with model predictions allows us to…
The creation of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is expected in heavy ion collisions. It came as a surprise that proton-proton collisions at ultrarelativistic energies show as well a ``QGP-like'' behavior and signs of the creation of a fluid,…

Heavy neutrinos at the TeV scale have been searched for at the LHC in the context of left-right models, under the assumption that they couple to the electron, the muon, or both. We show that current searches are also sensitive to heavy…
