Precise predictions are provided for the production of a $Z$ boson and a $b$-jet in hadron-hadron collisions within the framework of perturbative QCD, at $\mathcal{O}({\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{s}^{3})$. To obtain these predictions, we perform the first calculation of a hadronic scattering process involving the direct production of a flavored jet at next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy …
