Abstract

In this talk, we review the status of the associated production of a vector boson and heavy flavour quarks, and some recent theoretical developments. While some aspects of these multiscale processes are not yet completely under control, a general understanding on how to treat them is emerging, thanks to many efforts to match a completely massless, with a completely massive approach.
