ABSTRACT We present a study of l\nu b\bar{b} and l+ l- b\bar{b} production at hadron
colliders. Our results, accurate to the next-to-leading order in QCD, are based
are given at both the parton level, and after the matching with the Herwig
event generator, achieved with aMC@NLO. We retain the complete dependence on
the bottom-quark mass, and include exactly all spin correlations of final-state
leptons. We discuss the cases of several observables at the LHC which highlight
the importance of accurate simulations.

ABSTRACT: The status of today’s theoretical description of Standard Model (SM) processes involving gauge bosons at the Tevatron and the LHC, and of the tools that are used in their phenomenological studies are reviewed. A few recent ideas to further improve on the way technically challenging calculations can be performed also are discussed.

[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Measurements of W and Z production in association with jets provide a stringent test of perturbative QCD calculations. In addition, these measurements are of great relevance to searches for new particles and new interactions as these Standard-Model processes often represent a significant background. In these proceedings, recent results on the W and Z production for light and heavy-flavour jets at the Tevatron and the LHC are presented.
