Measurements of the production cross section of beauty hadrons in proton-proton (pp) collisions provide excellent tests of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) calculations. Theoretical approaches based on the factorisation theorem…
Baryonic two-body $B$ mesons decays have been measured experimentally for some time, which provides an excellent ground for studying the QCD of baryonic $B$ decays. In this work, we investigate the two-body doubly-charmed baryonic $B$…

Perturbative corrections of the order of $\alpha_s$ to inclusive double differential lepton distribution from $b$ quark decay are considered. A perturbative correction to the charged lepton energy spectrum has been calculated for an…
Hard processes in collider experiments typically produce QCD jets, which have long served as precision tests of QCD in the vacuum. More recently, heavy-ion programs at RHIC and the LHC have offered a novel perspective on jets, establishing…
