The cross section for ep -> e b\bar{b} X in photoproduction is measured with the H1 detector at the ep-collider HERA. The decay channel b\bar{b} -> ee X' is selected by identifying the semi-electronic decays of the b-quarks. The total production cross section is measured in the kinematic range given by the photon virtuality Q^2 <= 1 GeV^2, the inelasticity 0.05 <= y <= 0.65 and the...

Part 1:

We discuss production of charmed mesons in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The cross section for inclusive production of $c \bar c$ pairs is calculated in the framework of the $k_{\perp}$-factorization approach. Taking wide range of $x$ values necessary for the calculation we use and test several unintegrated gluon distributions from the literature. Some of them include...

The latest years have seen a resurrection of interest in searches for exotic states motivated by tantalising observations by Belle and CDF. Using the data collected at pp collisions at 7 and 8 TeV by the LHCb experiment we present limits on the X(4140) and studies of the X(3872) quantum numbers.

We use new AdS/QCD Distribution Amplitudes (DAs), derived from the meson AdS/QCD light-front wave function, in order to investigate radiative B decays to light vector mesons. When computing the annihilation diagrams in B \to \rho + \gamma and the isospin asymmetry in B \to K* + \gamma, we find that the AdS/QCD DAs do not lead to the end-point divergences encountered with standard QCD Sum...

Especially those decays, that are proceed through flavor-changing neutral currents, can have the interference from new physics with the loop diagrams.

The value of electroweak contribution to the ratio between

for a Higgs boson mass M_H ~ 125 GeV,
the electroweak contribution are large and have opposite
sign relative to the QCD contribution
so that the total correction is small and approximately equal to 1 GeV.
This fact reduces the scheme dependence for any...
