Production mechanisms for quarkonium states in hadronic collisions remain difficult to understand. The decay angular distributions of J/$\psi$ or $\Upsilon(nS)$ states into $\mu^+ \mu^-$ final states are sensitive to the matrix elements in…
Using samples of 102 million $\Upsilon(1S)$ and 158 million $\Upsilon(2S)$ events collected with the Belle detector, we study exclusive hadronic decays of these two bottomonium resonances to $\ks K^+ \pi^-$ and charge-conjugate (c.c.)…
We present a comprehensive study of $\Upsilon(nS)$ ($n$ = 1, 2, 3) production in proton-proton ($pp$) collisions at various LHC energies and rapidity ranges within the framework of leading order non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics…
We present a measurement of the polarization observed for bottomonium states produced in p-Cu collisions at sqrt(s)=38.8 GeV. The angular distribution of the decay dimuons of the Upsilon(1S) state show no polarization at small xF and pT but…
We study the energy distributions of dipion transitions $\Upsilon(5S)$ to $\Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)\pi^+\pi^-$ in the final state rescattering model. Since the $\Upsilon(5S)$ is well above the open bottom thresholds, the dipion transitions are…
We calculate the cross section for hadroproduction of a pair of heavy quarks in a 3S1 color-singlet state at next-to-leading order in QCD. This corresponds to the leading contribution in the NRQCD expansion for J/psi and Upsilon production.…
The B-factories have successfully exploited the unique advantages of the \Upsilon(4S) resonance to study many aspects of the B_d and B_u mesons. The \Upsilon(10860) resonance, also known as \Upsilon(5S), is above mass threshold for the B_s…
Using CLEO data, we study the production of the anti-deuteron, d-bar, in Upsilon(nS) resonance decays and the nearby continuum. The branching ratios obtained are B^dir(Upsilon(1S) --> d-bar X) = (3.36 +- 0.23 +- 0.25) x 10^-5, B(Upsilon(1S)…
The heavy quark spin symmetry implies that in addition to the recently observed Z(10610) and Z(10650) molecular resonances with $I^G=1^+$ there should exist two or four molecular bottomonium-like states with $I^G=1^-$. Properties of these…
The exclusive photoproduction of $\Upsilon (nS)$ states were calculated in ultra-peripheral collisions for coherent and incoherent process in PbPb at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 5.5 TeV. Different dipole models were compared in the theoretical…
We investigate the production of $X_b$ in the process $\Upsilon(5S,6S)\to \gamma X_b$, where $X_b$ is assumed to be a $B {\bar B}^*$ molecular state. Two kinds of meson loops of $B^{(*)}{\bar B}^{(*)}$ and $B_1^{\prime}{\bar B}^{(*)}$ were…
Bottomonium production in heavy ion collisions is modified compared with any simple extrapolation from elementary collisions. This modification is most likely caused by the presence of a deconfined system of quarks and gluons for times of…
The $\Upsilon(10753)$ state has been recently observed by the Belle and Belle~II collaborations with enough global significance to motivate an assessment of the high-energy spectrum usually predicted by any reasonable \emph{na\"ive} quark…
We study the near-threshold $\Upsilon(1S)$ meson photoproduction from protons and nuclei by considering incoherent direct non-resonant (${\gamma}p \to {\Upsilon(1S)}p$, ${\gamma}n \to {\Upsilon(1S)}n$) and two-step resonant (${\gamma}p \to…
We present studies of the production and spectroscopy of some members of the B-hadron family. We reconstruct B ground states in their hadronic decay modes with a J/{\psi} or {\Upsilon} in the final state. These studies are based on the 2011…
The Belle collaboration recently discovered two resonances, $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ --- denoted $Z_b$ and $Z_b^\prime$ --- in the decays $\Upsilon(5S) \to \Upsilon(nS) \pi^+ \pi^-$ for $n$ = 1, 2, or 3, and $\Upsilon(5S) \to h_b(mP)…
The three Upsilon states, Upsilon(1S+2S+3S), are measured in d+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV and rapidities 1.2<|y|<2.2 by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider. Cross sections for the inclusive…

Properties of bottomonia (Upsilon, chi_b and Upsilon') in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) are investigated by assessing inelastic reaction rates and their interplay with open-bottom states (b-quarks or B-mesons) and color-screening. The latter…
