Heavy b and c quark production in γγ collisions has been measured through semileptonic decays with the DELPHI detector at LEPII. The measured cross-sections are compared to NLO perturbative QCD calculations. The cross-section for b production is found to exceed QCD predictions. The K-lepton double tagging, used for the first time in γγ physics confirms this excess.

A phenomenological study of the two-photon reaction within the discrete BFKL approach is performed. We estimate the BFKL amplitude in terms of a discrete set of eigenfunctions and use the HERA [Formula: see text] data to constrain the free parameters of the model. As a consequence, we derive a parameter free prediction of the energy dependence of the total [Formula: see text] cross-section and the Bjorken-[Formula: see text] dependence of the photon structure function. We demonstrate that the LEP data is quite well described by the discrete BFKL approach and that experimental data from the future [Formula: see text] colliders can be useful to constrain the description of the QCD dynamics at high energies.

The cross-section for bottom quark production is calculated for the HERA-B experiment. We consider both the order [Formula: see text] cross-section and the resummation of soft gluon corrections in all orders of QCD perturbation theory.

We present a review of searches for electroweak production of single top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron proton–antiproton collider at [Formula: see text]. Searches for s-channel and t-channel single top quark production have been carried out using secondary-vertex b-quark tagging and advanced event analysis methods in order to maximize the sensitivity to single top quark production. So far, no evidence for a single top quark signal has been found. However, 95% confidence level upper limits on the production cross-section have been set that improve upon previous limits by factors of two to three and are approaching the cross-section region predicted by the standard model.
