I briefly review the theory and phenomenology of bottom production at colliders. When all theoretical uncertainties are taken into proper account, and modern measurements are considered, no significant discrepancy is seen between data and…
We review some recent results on heavy quark production in high energy hadronic collisions. We will discuss in particular the status of production cross sections for bottom quarks and charmonium states and will present some studies on the…

Final states with a vector boson and a hadronic jet allow one to infer the Born-level kinematics of the underlying hard scattering process, thereby probing the partonic structure of the colliding protons. At forward rapidities, the parton…

The advent of high-energy hadron colliders necessitates efficient and accurate computation of multi-jet production processes, both as QCD processes in their own right and as backgrounds for other physics. The algorithm that performs these…
