We discuss the impact on the study of gluon transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs) of the associated production of a lepton pair and a $\Upsilon$ (or a $J/\psi$) in unpolarised proton-proton collisions, $pp\to {\cal Q} \, \ell…
With nonrelativistic QCD factorization, we present a full next-to-leading order computation of the polarization observable for $J/psi$ production at hadron colliders including all important Fock states, i.e. $^3S_1[1,8]$, $^1S_0[8]$, and…
We propose the color-octet mechanism combined with the two gluon exchange model for the diffractive $J/\psi$ production in hadron collisions. In the leading logarithmic approximation (LLA) in QCD, we find that the diffractive $J/\psi$…
In inelastic $p+p$ collisions, the interacting objects are quarks and gluons (partons). It is believed that there are multiple interactions between the partons in a single $p+p$ event. Recent studies of multiplicity dependence of particle…
Study of exclusive photoproduction of $J/\Psi$ mesons was carried out in a factorization approach. Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for gluons, which play an important role here, are constructed using the double distribution…
We discuss exclusive elastic double diffractive axial-vector $\chi_c(1^+)$ and tensor $\chi_c(2^+)$ mesons production for different meson polarisations in proton-(anti)proton collisions at the Tevatron energy. The amplitude for the process…
We investigate the azimuthal asymmetries such as $\cos2{\phi_T}$ and Sivers symmetry for $J/\psi$ and $\pi^\pm$ production in electron-proton scattering, focusing on scenarios where the $J/\psi$ and the pion are produced in an almost…
We describe the use of doubly-unintegrated parton distributions in hadron-hadron collisions, using the (z,k_t)-factorisation prescription where the transverse momentum of the incoming parton is generated in the last evolution step. We apply…
Approximately taking into account the higher-order effects due to multiple-gluon initial-state radiation, we extract from the latest Tevatron data of prompt J/psi hadroproduction the leading colour-octet matrix elements within the…
We present a calculation of the charm and gluon fragmentation contributions to inclusive $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ production at large transverse momentum at the Tevatron. For $\psi$ production, we include both fragmentation directly into $\psi$…
In heavy ion collisions after the quark-gluon plasma there is a hadronic gas phase. Using effective Lagrangians we study the interactions of charmed mesons which lead to $J/\psi$ production and absorption in this gas. We update and extend…
We consider the production of two Higgs bosons in association with a gauge boson or another Higgs boson at the hadron colliders. We compute the cross sections and distributions for the processes $ p p \to H H H $ and $H H Z$ within the…
In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. D 68, 034017 (2003)], we investigated the inclusive production of prompt J/psi mesons in polarized hadron-hadron, photon-hadron, and photon-photon collisions in the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic…
We consider the transverse momentum spectrum and the $\cos 2\phi$ azimuthal distribution of $J/\psi$ mesons produced in semi-inclusive, deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering, where the electron and the proton are unpolarized. At low…
We present a calculation for the polarizations of $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ produced in the hadron collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. Various color octet channels including ${}^1S_0^{(8)}$, ${}^3P_J^{(8)}$, and ${}^3S_1^{(8)}$ as well as…
We examine the production of J/$\Psi$ mesons in high energy hadron-nucleus collisions using models that account for both the initial state modification of parton distributions in nuclei and the final state interaction of the produced $c\bar…
In the framework of $k_T$-factorization approach, the production and polarization of prompt $J/\psi$ mesons at the LHC energies is studied. Our consideration is based on the non-relativistic QCD formalism for bound states and off-shell…
The production process of quarkonia in proton-proton (pp) collision is a very good probe of the parton structure of the proton. Recent experimental data of the production of J/psi+vector boson or quarkonium pairs at the LHC and Tevatron…
We calculate the cross sections for the direct hadroproduction of J/psi and Upsilon associated with a heavy-quark pair of the same flavour at leading order in alpha_S and v in NRQCD. These processes provide an interesting signature that…
It has been suggested that the suppression of $J/\psi$ production in heavy nuclei is a signature of the formation of quark-gluon plasma. We here show that this phenomenon can be understood in terms of conventional physics, {\it i.e.} {\it…
