The hadronic final state in electron-proton collisions at HERA has provided a rich testing
ground for development of the theory of the strong force, QCD. In this review, over 200 …

A bstract We present predictions for a variety of single-inclusive observables that stem from
the production of charm and bottom quark pairs at the 7 TeV LHC. They are obtained within …

This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous
editions, plus 2158 new measurements from 551 papers, we list, evaluate, and average …

One of the triumphs of modern particle physics has been the extent to which Quantum
Chromodynamics (QCD) has successfully accounted for the strong interaction processes …

We present a new measurement of the inclusive and differential production cross sections of
J/ψ mesons and b hadrons in proton-antiproton collisions at s= 1960 G e V. The data …

CMS is a general purpose experiment, designed to study the physics of pp collisions at 14
TeV at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It currently involves more than 2000 physicists from …

A bstract We report on the first fully differential calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading-
order (NNLO) QCD radiative corrections to the production of bottom-quark pairs at hadron …

Decays of b hadrons into final states containing a D0 meson and a muon are used to
measure the bb¯ production cross-section in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass …

Transverse momentum spectra of electrons (p T e) from semileptonic weak decays of heavy-
flavor mesons in the range of 0.3< p T e< 9.0 GeV/c have been measured at midrapidity …

A bstract The ALICE experiment at the LHC has studied J/ψ production at mid-rapidity in pp
collisions at\(\sqrt {s}= 7\) TeV through its electron pair decay on a data sample …
