The Lagrangian in eq. (2.1) of JHEP11 (2020) 005 has an erroneous factor of 1/2. The analysis code used for the results reported in the paper does not have this factor. The results remain unchanged.

We review the present status of the QCD corrected cross-sections and kinematic distributions for the production of a Higgs boson in association with bottom quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN Large Hadron Collider. Results are presented for the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model where, for large tan β, these production modes can be greatly enhanced compared to the Standard Model case. The next-to-leading order QCD results are much less sensitive to the renormalization and factorization scales than the lowest order results, but have a significant dependence on the choice of the renormalization scheme for the bottom quark Yukawa coupling. We also investigate the uncertainties coming from the Parton Distribution Functions and find that these uncertainties can be comparable to the uncertainties from the remaining scale dependence of the next-to-leading order results. We present results separately for the different final states depending on the number of bottom quarks identified.

Abstract Photodisintegration cross sections for the reaction 9Be(γ,n) 8Be with photonenergies varied from threshold to about 17 MeV are calculated. As nuclear model is assumed a single particle shell model where the valence neutron outside the 8Be core is feeling a spherical field. The core state is assumed to be a mixture of the ground (0+) and the first excited (2+) state of the 8Be nucleus. The total cross sections are splitted up according to the different contributing reaction channels. The radial wave functions in initial as well as final states are of the Saxon-Woods type.

The (p, n) reaction at intermediate energies has been used to measure differential cross sections in light nuclei to final states characterized with a ΔJπ = 1+ transfer (Gamow–Teller (GT) states). Experimental ft values for allowed beta-decay transitions in these nuclei are used to normalize the strength of the GT transitions in units of B(GT). This experimental GT strength is compared with predicted shell–model strength. For p-shell nuclei, the calculated excitation energies of the GT strength using Cohen and Kurath wave functions are in general agreement with the empirical GT distribution. Up to an excitation energy of about 20 MeV, the total experimental and calculated GT strengths are used to obtain the quenching factor, QF = Σ B(GT)exp/Σ B(GT)theor. It is found that QF decreases as the shell gets filled-up. The lowest value seems to occur for single-hole nuclei. This decrease may be explained by configuration mixing not specifically included in the calculations.

Recent progress in the understanding of the nucleon is presented. The unpolarized structure functions are obtained with unprecedented precision from the combined H1 and ZEUS data and are used to extract proton parton distribution functions via NLO QCD fits. The obtained parametrization displays an improved precision, in particular at low Bjorken x, and leads to precise predictions of cross-sections for LHC phenomena. Recent data from proton–antiproton collisions at Tevatron indicate further precise constraints at large Bjorken x. The flavor content of the proton is further studied using final states with charm and beauty in DIS ep and [Formula: see text] collisions. Data from polarized DIS or proton–proton collisions are used to test the spin structure of the proton and to constrain the polarized parton distributions.

A nuclear model where the single-particle states of the valence neutron are vector coupled to the ground (0+) and first excited (2+) 12C-core states, is considered. The model is applied to calculate total photodisintegration cross sections of the reaction 13C(γ, n)12C for energies below the Giant dipole resonance. The radial wavefunctions in initial- as well as final states are of the Saxon-Woods type.
