TTP02-20 Understanding Bottom Production

We describe calculations of $b \overline b$ production to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and next-to-next-to-leading logarithm (NNLL) near threshold in $pp$ interactions. Our calculations are in good agreement with the $b \overline b$ total cross section measured by HERA-B.
