Charmonium states are expected to be considerably suppressed in the case of quark-gluon plasma formation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. However, a robust identification of suppression patterns as signatures of a deconfined QCD medium…
Heavy Quarkonium states modifications in relativistic heavy ion collisions have been of great interest since the proposal by Matsui and Satz of J/psi suppression as a signature of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) formation. Recent studies suggest…
The ATLAS detector at CERN's LHC is preparing to take data from the first proton-proton collisions expected in the next few months. We report on the analysis of simulated data samples for production of heavy Quarkonium states J/psi and…
We compute fragmentation corrections to hadroproduction of the quarkonium states $J/\psi$, $\chi_{cJ}$, and $\psi(2S)$ at leading power in $m_c^2/p_T^2$, where $m_c$ is the charm-quark mass and $p_T$ is the quarkonium transverse momentum.…
We study the contribution of double parton scattering (DPS) to the associated production of $J/\psi$ mesons and photons with large transverse momenta in proton-proton collisions. Cross sections are computed within high-energy factorization…

At present the color-octet mechanism is still an important and debatable part in the non-relativistic QCD(NRQCD). We find in this work that the polarized double charmonium production at the LHC may pose a stringent test on the charmonium…
Measurements made at the LHC have shown that the production of the ${\rm J}/\psi$, $\psi$(2S), $\Upsilon$(1S) and $\Upsilon$(2S) quarkonia is suppressed in Pb-Pb collisions, with respect to the extrapolation of the pp production yields. The…
In the framework of the k_t-factorization approach, the production of $\Upsilon mesons at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC is considered, and the predictions on the spin alignment parameter $\alpha$ are presented. We argue that measuring…
We present a new measurement of the e+e- -> J/psi ccbar cross section where the ccbar pair can fragment either into charmed hadrons or a charmonium state. In the former case the J/psi and a charmed hadron are reconstructed, while the latter…
Charmonia, bound states of charm and anti-charm quarks, represent an interesting probe for the study of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) since their production involves both hard and soft energy scales. Several effective models are available to…
