Abstract

We summarize the motivations for and the status of the calculation of the W + heavy quark production process in p p colliders to Next-to-Leading Order in QCD. This process can be used to constrain the strange quark distribution function at high Q2 at the Tevatron, and also to study the bottom content of W+1~jet events. In addition, when crossed, the calculation essentially describes the single top quark production process to Next-to-Leading Order in QCD.
