We summarize the status of QCD corrections for SM Higgs boson production at hadron colliders and briefly sketch the main search strategies at the LHC.
An increasingly large amount of quality fixed-target data on heavy-quark production at fixed-target energies is appearing. This data can provide information across a range of physics topics. The topics vary from investigations of QCD…

Large-distance effects, which lead to the spin-flip part of the hadron -pomeron coupling in QCD -models, are discussed. We study spin asymmetries in exclusive reactions and in diffractive $Q \bar Q$ and vector meson production which are…

Instrumenting the LHC to measure the outgoing protons in the process pp -> p+X+p opens up new possibilities for physics studies in the Standard Model and beyond. In this talk I first present an overview of the underlying QCD calculation and…
I review a few selected topics concerning heavy-quark fragmentation, taking particular care about bottom- and charm-quark production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and the inclusion of non-perturbative corrections. In particular, I discuss recent…
