โฆ Synopsis
For the HERA -B Collaboration
Using the HERA -B detector, the b6 production cross section has been measured in 920 GeV proton collisions on carbon and titanium targets. The bb production was tagged via inclusive bottom quark decays into J/1c, by exploiting the longitudinal separation of J/I/J -+ 1+1-decay vertices from the primary proton-nucleus interaction. Both e+e-and p ,u + -channels have been reconstructed and the combined analysis yields the cross section a(b&) = 32 + ti(stat) +:(syst) rib/nucleon.

Recent data and theory for the production of Drell-Yan, heavy quarks and Quarkonia are reviewed. QCD theory is shown to do an excellent job of treating Drell-Yan and heavy quark production, but conventional models for quarkonia fail dramatically. The new Color Octet Model may provide the solution. I
J/O total and XF differential hadroproduction cross sections are calculated in the framework of NRQCD. Our results include contributions from the complete set of channels of order a 3 for both color-singlet and color-octet components. We see that the corrections of O(a 3) significantly enhance the c
Jet cross sections have been measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector. The measurement uses an integrated luminosity of 17 nb -1 recorded at the Large Hadron Collider. The anti-k t algorithm is used to identify jets with a jet resolution param
