The Belle experiment has recorded 121 fb-1 of data at the Y(5S)
resonance, making this the world's largest data sample at this energy.
As the Y(5S) decays to Bs(*)Bs(*) pairs, this large sample provides
a unique opportunity for detailed studies of Bs decays at an e+e-
machine. Here we report a recent measurement of Bs->Ds(*)Ds(*)
decays and a new measurment of Bs->Ds(*)h decays.

We derive an all order resummation formula for the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude, which takes into account soft-collinear gluon exchanges in the partonic (quark gluon) amplitude. We identify at each order of the perturbative series the diagrams responsible in a specific gauge to the leading contributions. An exponentiated expression results in a simple closed expression valid in...

The ALICE experiment is designed to study the properties of the high energy density medium formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The measurement of open charm and beauty production in heavy ion collisions has an important role in the investigation, since it gives access to the mechanisms of heavy-quark propagation and energy loss in the hot and dense QCD matter. Heavy-flavour...

We present the calculation of the most important electroweak corrections to dijet production at the LHC and the Tevatron, comprising tree-level effects of O(\alpha_s\alpha,\alpha^2) and weak loop corrections of O(\alpha_s^2\alpha). Although suppressed by the small value of the coupling constant \alpha, these corrections can become large in the high-energy domain due to the appearance of...

Measurement of W+c production cross section has a unique sensitivity to the strange-quark density, which is poorly known at low x. W+b production, on the other hand, probes the b-quark production by higher order QCD processes. Cross sections are measured differentially as a function of jet multiplicity and transverse momentum of the leading b-jet, for the W+b measurement and as a function of...
