We have investigated the sensitivity of CMS for finding the Higgs boson in the H0 -> bbbar channel. An excellent b-tagging performance and a good jet resolution are the main requirements needed for a successful event selection. In the Standard Model (SM), the ttbar H0 -> l+- nu qqbar bbbar bbbar channel is accessible, if the Higgs mass is lighter than m(H0) = 125 GeV, already during the first years of the LHC. Also, most of the MSSM (Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model) parameter space can be covered. The W+- H0 -> l+- nu bbbar channel is only accessible with high luminosity at the LHC. In both channels the mass can be determined with a precision of a few per cent and the Higgs couplings at the level of 10%.

Two recent measurements of beauty production in deep inelastic scattering based on data collected by the ZEUS detector are summarised. In the first one, the beauty fraction in the data was obtained from events with a muon and a jet. In the second one, beauty cross sections were measured using the decay length significance and mass of inclusive secondary vertices. Differential cross sections are presented and compared to QCD predictions. The beauty contribution to the inclusive proton structure function F_2^bbbar was extracted for the jet+muon measurement and is compared to previous measurements and theoretical predictions.
Beauty production in deep inelastic scattering with events in which a muon and a jet are observed in the final state has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 114 pb^-1. The fraction of events with beauty quarks in the data was determined using the distribution of the transverse momentum of the muon relative to the jet. The cross section for beauty production was measured in the kinematic range of photon virtuality, Q^2 > 2 Gev^2, and inelasticity, 0.05 < y < 0.7, with the requirement of a muon and a jet. Total and differential cross sections are presented and compared to QCD predictions. The beauty contribution to the structure function F_2 was extracted and is compared to theoretical predictions.
We outline the opportunities for spin physics which are offered by a next generation and multi-purpose fixed-target experiment exploiting the proton LHC beam extracted by a bent crystal. In particular, we focus on the study of single transverse spin asymetries with the polarisation of the target.
In this report, we describe the most recent results on exclusive diffraction from the ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, TOTEM experiments at the LHC concerning exclusive pions, $J/Psi$, $Psi(2S)$, dilepton, diphoton, $WW$ productions and prospects concerning the search for anomalous couplings and axion-like particle production.
The ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments will perform extensive searches for physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). The investigation of decays of beauty hadrons represents an alternative and complementary approach to the direct BSM searches. A particularly promising observable for the search of New Physics (NP) in $B-$hadron decays, is the measurement of the branching ratio of the decay $B_Sto mu^{+} mu^{-}$. This observable is sensitive to physics BSM with new scalar or pseudoscalar effective operators, such as theories involving an extended Higgs sector. Here the prospects of the ATLAS, CMS and the LHCb experiments for such a measurement are discussed. In particular the LHCb experiment, thanks to its good particle identification and momentum resolution, has the potential for an early discovery of this decay.
