With the large data set delivered during the second run of the CERN LHC, inclusive and differential measurements of the top quark-antiquark production cross section at the ATLAS and CMS experiments often reach a precision that is comparable…
Heavy quarks (charm and bottom) are good probes of the hot and dense medium created in relativistic heavy ion collisions since they are mainly generated at the beginning of collisions and interact with the media in all collision stages. In…
We summarize measurements of b and c jet production at the LHC, which are an important signature and background for decays of massive particles such as H-to-b-bbar. These include measurements of the inclusive and dijet production of heavy…
I will review a selection of LHCb results on the production of heavy quarkonium states in pp collisions, including the recent results on J/psi and Y(nS) (n=1,2,3) production at sqrt(s)=8TeV, as well as preliminary results on J/psi…
We present the measurement of the inclusive electron spectrum in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, using 1.3 pb-1 of data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Signal electrons in the…
This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics, from the proton and nucleus structure at high energy to…
Heavy flavour production and spectroscopy are key components of the HERA physics programme. I will summarise a selection of the recent results obtained by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. The production of excited charm mesons and J/psi will…
Heavy long-lived quarks, i.e. charm and bottom, are frequently studied both as tests of QCD and as probes for other physics aspects within and beyond the standard model. The long life-time implies that charm and bottom hadrons are formed…
In this work, the impact of recent measurements of heavy-flavour production in $pp$ collisions on parton distribution functions (PDFs) and their uncertainties is studied. In this regard, the absolute and normalised cross sections of beauty…
The production of charm and beauty quarks in ep collisions at HERA has been studied by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. Charm production is generally well described in total rate and in shape by next to leading order (NLO) calculations in…
Proton-proton collisions at the LHC provide the ground for tests of the strong interactions through the study of the production mechanisms for quarkonia and hadrons containing charm or beauty flavours. This review addresses recent results…
Heavy quarks provide a new dimension to QCD, allowing tests of fundamental theory, the nature of color confinement, and the production of new exotic multiquark states. I also discuss novel explanations for several apparently anomalous…
Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are produced early in the nucleus-nucleus collisions, and heavy flavor survives throughout the later stages. Measurements of heavy-flavor quarks thus provide us with means to understand the properties of the…
In the last decade, the LEP and SLD experiments played a central role in the study of B hadrons (hadrons containing a b quark). New B hadrons have been observed ($B^0_s$, \Lambda_b$, $\Xi_b$ and $B^{**}$) and their production and decay…
The sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to the top-quark rare decay via flavour-changing neutral currents t --> Hq (q represents c and u quarks) has been studied at sqrt{s} = 14 TeV in the decay mode of ttbar --> HqWb --> WW*q,Wb -->l \nu l…
We present the measurement of the production cross section for top quark pair ($t\bar{t}$) in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV using the data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Events are selected in…
Heavy quarks, such as charm and beauty, possess masses significantly larger than the characteristic energy scale of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and are thus predominantly produced in hard-scattering processes with large momentum transfer…
Recent measurements of top-quark production at hadron colliders are reviewed. The inclusive top-quark pair production is determined at four centre-of-mass energies at Tevatron and LHC with experimental uncertainties that are close to the…
The production of $W/Z$ bosons in association with heavy flavour jets or hadrons at the LHC is sensitive to the flavour content of the proton and provides an important test of perturbative QCD. The production of a $W$ boson in association…
The ATLAS experiment measures the production of muons coming from the decays of heavy flavour particles in the kinematic interval 4<p_T<14 GeV and |eta|<1. The measurement is performed in sqrt(s) = 2.76 TeV pp collisions and over the…
