Perturbative cross section for direct B_c meson production in gluon gluon scattering g g --> B_c^+ b \bar{c} is calculated and compared with other existing results. Predictions for hadronic B_c production at Tevatron and LHC are presented and the main sources of uncertainties are discussed.
The charged current cross section for neutrinos with energy of a few GeV is reanalysed. In this energy range the cross section for the lowest multiplicity exclusive channels is an important fraction of $σ_{CC}$ and the approximation of describing the cross section with deep inelastic scattering formulae may be inaccurate. Possible consequences of our reanalysis of the cross section in the interpretation of the data obtained by deep underground detectors on $ν$--induced upward going muons (both stopping and passing) are discussed.
