Suppression of quarkonia in heavy ion collisions with respect to proton-proton collisions due to the Debye screening of the potential between the heavy quarks was hypothesized to be a signature of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). However,…
We calculate the lowest order hadronic cross sections for producing colored heavy quark-antiquark pairs in $L=S=0$ and $L=S=1$ configurations. Such $Q\Qbar[{}^1S_0^{(8)}]$ and $Q\Qbar[{}^3P_J^{(8)}]$ states hadronize into $\psi_\Q$…
The process AB --> Quarkonium + photon + X, for a heavy quarkonium state such as J/psi or Upsilon, is considered. The ratio of the cross-sections for this process in pp and pp(bar) collisions is shown to be a vary sensitive probe of models…

We study nuclear shadowing in $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ production in hadron-nucleus interactions and in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider. %We define the regions in $x_f$ where…
We estimate differential rapidity cross sections for $J/\Psi$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ production via Cu-Cu and Au-Au collisions at RHIC, and the relative probabilities of $\Psi'(2S)$ to $J/\Psi$ production via p-p collisions using our recent…
We use dispersion relations to reconstruct, in a model-independent way, the formation dynamics of heavy quarkonium from the experimental data on e+ e- annihilation to Q-bar Q. We extract a distribution of formation times with a mean value…
The multiple parton$-$parton interactions (MPIs) are an important element to describe the observed collective flow and strangeness enhancement in high multiplicity pp and p$-$Pb collisions, the so-called small systems. At LHC energy, MPIs…
In pp collisions at LHC energies, heavy quarks are produced in initial hard scatterings and then these quarks hadronize in either open heavy-flavor hadrons or quarkonia (e.g. J/$\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\Upsilon$). The study of quarkonium…
Prospects for quarkonium-production studies accessible during the upcoming high-luminosity phases of the CERN Large Hadron Collider operation after 2021 are reviewed. Current experimental and theoretical open issues in the field are…

The $\Upsilon(1S)$ meson production and polarization at high energies is studied in the framework of the $k_T$-factorization approach. Our consideration is based on the non-relativistic QCD formalism for a bound states formation and…
