TLDR
In this paper, the transverse-momentum distribution of heavy flavors in hadronic collisions is considered, and a formalism in which large transverse momentum logarithms are resummed at the next-to-leading level, and mass effects are included exactly up to order 3.Abstract:
We consider the transverse-momentum distribution of heavy flavours in hadronic collisions. We present a formalism in which large transverse-momentum logarithms are resummed at the next-to-leading level, and mass effects are included exactly up to order � 3 , so as to retain predictivity at both small and large transverse momenta. As an example, we apply our formalism to b production at the Tevatron.read more

New generation of parton distributions with uncertainties from global QCD analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a new generation of parton distribution functions with increased precision and quantitative estimates of uncertainties is presented, using a recently developed eigenvector-basis approach to the hessian method, which provides the means to quickly estimate the uncertainties of a wide range of physical processes at these high-energy hadron colliders, based on current knowledge of the parton distributions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for matching the next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation of a given QCD process with a parton shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the first determination of parton distributions of the nucleon at NLO and NNLO based on a global data set which includes LHC data: NNPDF2.3 is presented, which includes, besides the deep inelastic, Drell-Yan, gauge boson production and jet data already used in previous global PDF determinations, all relevant LHC Data for which experimental systematic uncertainties are currently available: ATLAS and LHCb W and Z rapidity distributions from the 2010 run, CMS W electron asymmetry data from the 2011 run,

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the SHiP experiment has a unique potential to discover new physics and can directly probe a number of solutions of beyond the standard model puzzles, such as neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter, and inflation.

Matching NLO QCD and parton showers in heavy flavour production
TL;DR: In this paper, the MC@NLO approach was applied to the hadroproduction of gauge boson pairs at the Tevatron and LHC, where the mixture of final-state QCD radiation and different colour flows was considered.
