Abstract
Proc. of DIS 2012, 155-170; DESY
We review theoretical and phenomenological aspects of heavy flavour
production as discussed in the heavy flavour working group of the
DIS 2012. Recent theoretical progress includes approximate NNLO calculations
for heavy quark structure functions in deep inelastic scattering,
the extension of the ACOT heavy flavour scheme to jet production,
and advances in top physics where the highlight is clearly the first
complete NNLO QCD prediction for top pair production in the $q \bar{q}$
annihilation channel. Furthermore, state of the art phenomenological
predictions for open charm and bottom, charmonium, and single top
and top pair production are discussed in addition to other topics
such as the effect of double parton scattering on heavy quark production.
New measurements on charm and beauty production presented in the heavy
flavor working group are summarized and discussed in comparison with
QCD predictions. Top quark strong and weak couplings as well as
top quark properties are being measured with precision at the LHC
and the Tevatron. We summarize also recent results on spectroscopy
of charmonia, bottomonia and $b$-hadrons, along with studies of their
decays and properties. Searches for physics beyond Standard Model
through precise measurements of rare decays of heavy flavours are
discussed as well.
