Recent results obtained in experiments at the LHC in the field of rare $b$-hadron decays are reviewed in this contribution, with a focus on $b\to q\ell\ell$ processes. A general status is presented as well as recently completed…
We describe some characteristic properties of $B_c$ mesons and discuss the production and the prospects of detection in $e^+ e^-$, $\gamma \gamma$, and $\bar pp/pp$ collisions. The production mechanisms considered here also play an…
We discuss the physics of single-top quark production and decay at hadron colliders, such as the Tevatron, the \tevstar~and the LHC. Our study includes how to measure the mass and the width of the top quark produced from a…
We review the theoretical status of signal and background calculations for Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. Particular emphasis is given to missing NLO results, which will play a crucial role for the Tevatron and the LHC.
From the very early days of Particle Physics, both experimental and theoretical studies on proton-proton collisions had occupied the center-stage of attention for very simple and obvious reasons. And this intense interest seems now to be at…
With respect to large samples of $B_c$ mesons expected to be produced at CERN Large Hadron Collider(LHC) and the large branching ratios $Br(B_{c}\to \tau\bar\nu)$ and $Br(B_{c}\to \mu\bar\nu)$, we suggest that $B_c$ purely leptonic decays…

The production in high-energy hadron collisions of a pair of jets with large rapidity separation is studied in an improved BFKL formalism. By recasting the analytic solution of the BFKL equation as an explicit order-by-order sum over…

In this paper we will provide an overview of the hadron colliders built to date and the design and operational challenges that each of these machines has faced. Many of these are inherent to the ongoing effort to optimise the instantaneous…
Work on electroweak precision calculations and event generators for electroweak physics studies at current and future colliders is summarized.
A summary of the experimental results from Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC is given.
We consider multihadron production processes in different types of collisions in the framework of the picture based on dissipating energy of participants and their types. In particular, the similarities of such bulk observables like the…
I review recent progress in understanding inclusive quarkonium production in hadron collisions. The first part focuses on non-relativistic QCD as an effective theory. I discuss its differences from and similarities with effective theories…
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN will provide Pb-Pb collisions at energies up to $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.5 TeV. We speculate on global observables, i.e. the charged particle density at mid-rapidity, chemical freeze-out conditions and…
We study the production of the Higgs boson in association with a single top quark at hadron colliders. The cross sections for the three production processes (t-channel, s-channel, and W-associated) at both the Tevatron and the LHC are…
