Description

I shall present recent results as well as ongoing activity in precision NNLO calculations relevant for heavy flavour (top and bottom) production and decay. Examples are the newly derived NNLO time-like splitting functions of QCD with application to reducing the uncertainties in b-fragmentation and its subsequent effect on precision top-mass measurements and b-production at the LHC; the very recent completion of the NNLO SM branching fraction for B -> s g, as well as progress towards two-loop calculations with massive particles.
