Measurements of production cross-sections of inclusive $b$-hadrons pairs, bottom mesons and baryons, and quarkonia at LHC will be shown. Recent measurements of branching fractions of bottom baryons, bottom mesons with baryons in the final…
Scattering amplitudes are often split up into their color (su(N)) and kinematic components. Since the su(N) gauge part can be described using flows of color, one may anticipate that the double su(2) kinematic part can be described in terms…

We present a complete calculation of the matrix elements for the processes $q \bar q, gg \to b W^+ \bar b W^- g$ and $qg \to b W^+ \bar b W^- q$ which are relevant for the study of events with an additional jet in $t \bar t$ production at…

We consider Higgs boson production through gluon--gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We present a numerical program that computes the cross section up to NNLO in QCD perturbation theory. The program allows the user to apply arbitrary cuts…
We compute the photon production of a QCD plasma at leading order in the strong coupling with a finite baryon chemical potential. Our approach starts from the real time formalism of finite temperature field theory. We identify the class of…
