A study of hadron pair production mechanism is motivated by the recent observed decays $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)+}K^-K^0$. One novel phenomenon is threshold enhancement of the kaon pair production. We show that these decays in the heavy quark…
The branching ratio B(Lambda_c -> p K- pi+) normalizes the production and decay of charmed and bottom baryons. At present, this crucial branching ratio is extracted dominantly from B.bar -> baryons analyses. This note questions several of…

We investigate the reaction gamma+p -> V+p, with V denoting a Phi or a J/Psi meson, within the scope of perturbative QCD, treating the proton as a quark-diquark system. Our predictions extrapolate the existing forward differential…
The recent anomalies in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions could originate from some New Physics beyond the Standard Model. Either to confirm or to rule out this assumption, more tests of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transition are needed. Polarized…
Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) have emerged as a powerful framework for exploring the internal structure of hadrons in terms of their partonic constituents. Over the past three decades, the field has witnessed significant…

We argue that the observation of the color transparency effect in the semiexclusive $A(\pi^-,l^+ l^-)$ process is important for determining whether it is possible to extract the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon from the…
Studies on the production of open charm hadrons are of paramount importance to investigate the charm-quark hadronisation mechanisms at the LHC, particularly through the evolution of the production ratio between different charm-hadron…
At high-energies the gluon-gluon fusion is the dominant mechanism of c \bar c production. This process was calculated in the NLO collinear as well as in the kt-factorization approaches in the past. In this presentation we concentrate on…
We study the relative contribution of partonic sub-processes to D meson production and D meson-triggered inclusive di-hadrons to lowest order in perturbative QCD. While gluon fusion dominates the creation of large angle DD-bar pairs, charm…

We discuss hadroproduction of open charmed mesons ($D^0$, $D^{\pm}$, $D^{\pm}_{S}$) at the LHC energy $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. The cross section for inclusive production of $c \bar c$ pairs is calculated within the $k_{\perp}$-factorization (or…
