    I will discuss the inclusion of an intrinsic component of the Charm PDF to the FONLL variable flavour number scheme, and the implications for a PDF fit.

    LHCb's unique forward acceptance allow for complementary measurements of production processes of electroweak bosons and quarkonia at large rapidities and low transverse momenta. A review of the latest results based on run 1 data will be presented.

    Heavy Quarks
    The production of heavy flavour in association with a W or Z boson represent important backgrounds to Higgs and BSM studies and are challenging to calculate in QCD. Several precision measurements were performed using pp data at 7 TeV of integrated as well as differential cross sections. Comparisons are made to a diverse set of state-­of­the­-art NLO QCD calculations, some of which are...

    Heavy Quarks
    Accurate modeling of V+jets is important for many measurements at the LHC. W/Z+jets is for example a dominant background for precision top quark measurements. After the discovery of the Higgs boson and the beginning of the Higgs precision measurement era, accurate modeling of the background processes is essential. Many searches for physics beyond standard model also rely on precise SM...

    Heavy Quarks
    LHCb has a unique capability to separate beauty and charm jets. We present recent results on jet tagging performance, W+b,c jets and the observation of the top quark in the forward acceptance at the LHC.
