The heavy quark system is an excellent probe to learn about the QCD dynamics at finite density. First, we discuss the properties of the $J/\psi$ and $D$ meson at finite nucleon density. We discuss why their properties should change at…

To clarify the outstanding problem in charmonium production that existing theories cannot explain the observed cross sections of $\chi_{cJ}$ (J=0,1,2) and ratio $R_{\chi_c}=\sigma_{\chi_{c2}}/\sigma_{\chi_{c1}}\approx 0.75$ (in contrast to…

There is serious disagreement between the predictions of Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD) and the data on $J/\psi$ polarisation which has persisted for almost a quarter of a century. We find that if we account for the effect…
The energy range and quality of strong-interaction data from recent years demand the study of higher orders in perturbative QCD, and of nonperturbative effects. I discuss a selection of recent progress in the theory of QCD at high energy,…
