We review the history of comparisons between bottom production measurements and QCD predictions. We challenge the existence of a `significant discrepancy', and argue that standard approaches to QCD calculations do a good job in describing…

Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…
We present preliminary results from our study of the heavy-light spectrum and decay constants. For the heavy quark, we use NRQCD at various masses around and above the $b$ quark mass. For the first time, the heavy quark action and the…
