We compute the probability of $J/\psi$ production from the interaction between $\eta_c$ and the strong magnetic field generated in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The computation is first carried out in the heavy quark effective model,…

We discuss production of two pairs of $c \bar c$ in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Both double-parton scattering (DPS) and single-parton scattering (SPS) contributions are included in the analysis. Each step of DPS is calculated…

Color-octet contributions to the associate $J/\psi+\gamma$ production are found to be negligible, compared to the ordinary color-singlet contribution. Within the color-singlet model the $J/\psi+\gamma$ production in the leading order is…

We present the cross-section for the threshold production of the Higgs boson at hadron-colliders at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) in perturbative QCD. We present an analytic expression for the partonic cross-section at…
Double parton scattering (DPS) is studied at the example of $J/\psi$ pair-production in the LHCb and ATLAS experiments of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{S}=$ 7, 8, and 13 TeV. We report theoretical…
Production of large-p_T hadron pairs by polarized photon on a longitudinally polarized proton towards probing the polarized gluon distribution is studied. Resolved photon contributions and the effect of changing the scales are taken into…
The production rate of prompt $\psi'$'s at large transverse momentum at the Tevatron is larger than theoretical expectations by about a factor of 30. As a solution to this puzzle, we suggest that the dominant $\psi'$ production mechanism is…
Transverse momentum dependent gluon distributions encode fundamental information on the structure of the proton. Here we show how they can be accessed in heavy quarkonium production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. In particular,…
We focus on the problem of disentangling the single (SPS) and double (DPS) parton scattering modes in the production of \J pairs at the LHC conditions. Our analysis is based on comparing the shapes of the differential cross sections and on…
