Recent Progress in the Theory of Heavy Flavor Production

Abstract

We review some recent results on heavy quark production in high energy hadronic collisions. We will discuss in particular the status of production cross sections for bottom quarks and charmonium states and will present some studies on the production of bottom and charm jets, at the inclusive level and in association with electroweak gauge bosons.
