Inclusive production of $\Upsilon J/\psi$ pair in proton-proton interation at LHCb is considered. This process is forbidden at leading order of perturbation theory, so such channels as double parton scattering, $\chi_b\chi_c$ pair…

We develop the formalism for production of a fully heavy tetraquark and apply it to the calculation of $pp\to T_{4c}+X$ cross-sections. We demonstrate that the production cross-section of a fully heavy tetraquark, even if it is a…
We consider the prompt hadroproduction of J/psi, psi' and the Upsilon (1S,2S,3S) states caused by the fusion of a symmetric colour-octet two-gluon state and an additional gluon. The cross sections are calculated in leading-order…
We propose a qualitatively new mechanism for quarkonium production, motivated by the global features of the experimental data and by the successes/failures of existing models. In QCD, heavy quarks are created in conjunction with a…

We present a systematic study of the production of the heavy quarkonium, i.e., $|(c\bar{c})[n] \rangle$ , $|(b\bar{c})[n] \rangle$ (or $|(c\bar{b})[n] \rangle$), and $|(b\bar{b})[n] \rangle$ quarkonium [$|(Q\bar{Q'})[n]\rangle$ quarkonium…
