The accurate determination of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton is an
essential ingredient of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) program. PDF uncertainties impact …

The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) will serve as the energy frontier for high-energy physics
for the next 20 years. The highlight of the LHC running so far has been the discovery of the …

We compute next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to neutral vector boson
production in association with a charm jet at the LHC. This process is studied in the forward …

A bstract We present the interface between M ad G raph 5_ a MC@ NLO, a self-contained
program that calculates cross sections up to next-to-leading order accuracy in an automated …

Precise predictions are provided for the production of a Z boson and ab-jet in hadron-hadron
collisions within the framework of perturbative QCD, at O (α s 3). To obtain these predictions …

We propose two new analysis strategies for studying charm and beauty quarks at colliders.
The first strategy is aimed at testing the kinematics of heavy-flavor quarks within an identified …

Since the W± and Z0 discovery, hadron colliders have provided a fertile ground, in which
continuously improving measurements and theoretical predictions allow to precisely …

We compute the O (α s α 2) and O (α s 2 α) contributions to the production cross section of a
Z boson with one b jet at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and study their …

We consider the production of a Z boson decaying to leptons in association with a bottom-
quark pair in hadronic collisions. For the first time, we compute predictions at next-to-next-to …

With the framework of the multisource thermal model, we analyze the experimental
transverse momentum spectra of various jets produced in different collisions at high …
