Description
The production of W, Z, and photons with b jets has received a lot of
attention in recent years because of its relevance as one of
the major backgrounds to Higgs and new physics searches as well as for
the unique role it plays in understanding the QCD properties
of heavy flavors in hadronic collisions.
In this talk I will review the status of theoretical predictions and
their comparison to both Tevatron and LHC data,
and I will present an overview of recent and future developments.
