It is shown that the rates of the decays Upsilon(1^3D_1) -> eta Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(1^3D_2) -> eta Upsilon(1S) should be comparable to and likely exceed that of the recently discussed in the literature two-pion transition Upsilon(1D) ->…
The presently available data for the reaction ${\gamma}p{\to}\eta^\prime{p}$ are analyzed in terms of a model in which the dominant production mechanism is the exchange of the vector mesons $\omega$ and $\rho$. To describe the data at…

We report results from a study of hadronic transitions of the $\chi_{bJ}(nP)$ states of bottomonium at Belle. The $P$-wave states are reconstructed in transitions to the $\Upsilon(1S)$ with the emission of an $\omega$ meson. The transitions…
C-parity-even quarkonia eta_b,c and chi_b,c with spin 0 and 2 are produced via two-gluon fusion. The expected cross section of the inclusive production of the quarkonia at the LHC, times the branching ratios of convenient decays, is up to…
We study the production of $\eta'$ from hadronizing thermal gluons using recently proposed $\eta'-g-g$ effective vertex. The $\eta'$ yield is found to be sensitive to the initial condition. At RHIC and LHC, the enhancement is large enough…
The CLEO Collaboration has made the first observations of hadronic transitions among bottomonium (b-bbar) states other than the dipion transitions among upsns states. In our study of Y(3S) decays, we find a significant signal for Y(3S) ->…
We make a detailed discussion on the one-loop QCD correction to the bottomonium production associated with a photon, i.e. via the channel $e^{+}e^{-} \to\gamma^*/Z^0 \to |H_{b\bar{b}}\rangle + \gamma$, where $|H_{b\bar{b}}\rangle$ stands…
