Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

A bstract A measurement of the cross-section for W→ eν production in pp collisions is
presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2 fb− 1 collected by the …

The accurate determination of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton is an
essential ingredient of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) program. PDF uncertainties impact …

Abstract A Phase-II Upgrade is proposed for the LHCb experiment in order to take full
advantage of the flavourphysics opportunities at the HL-LHC, and other topics that can be …

The standard model of particle physics describes the fundamental particles and their
interactions via the strong, electromagnetic, and weak forces. It provides precise predictions …

A search is presented for long-lived particles with a mass between 25 and 50\, GeV/c^ 2
GeV/c 2 and a lifetime between 2 and 500 ps, using proton–proton collision data …

We compute next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to neutral vector boson
production in association with a charm jet at the LHC. This process is studied in the forward …

Identification of jets originating from beauty and charm quarks is important for measuring
Standard Model processes and for searching for new physics. The performance of …

The associated production of a W boson with a jet originating from either a light parton or
heavy-flavor quark is studied in the forward region using proton-proton collisions. The …
