Bottom production in hadronic collisions
Abstract
Description
I review the status of the comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental results for bottom production in hadronic collisions, and discuss the possible sources of the discrepancies found. The study of jets containing bottom quarks is proposed as a promising tool to investigate the $b$ production mechanism. I present next-to-leading order QCD predictions for this process, and compare them with data.
