Based on the potential nonrelativistic QCD formalism, we compute the nonrelativistic QCD long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) for inclusive production of $S$-wave heavy quarkonia. This greatly reduces the number of nonperturbative unknowns…
Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…
We calculate the transition between a quarkonium state and an unbound heavy quark-antiquark pair through gluo-dissociation and inelastic parton scattering using a partonic picture that interpolates between the formal limits based on…
We calculate the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^3)$ short-distance, QCD collinear-factorized coefficient functions for all partonic channels that include the production of a heavy quark pair at short distances. This provides the first power correction…
In a transient magnetic field, heavy quarkonium bound states evolve non adiabatically. In presence of a strong magnetic field, $J/\Psi$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ become more tightly bound than we expected earlier for a pure thermal medium. We have…
We briefly review how nonrelativistic effective field theories give us a definition of the QCD potentials and a coherent field theory derived quantum mechanical scheme to calculate the properties of bound states made by two or more heavy…
Hard diffractive photo- and electroproduction of heavy vector mesons ($J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$) is evaluated within the leading $\alpha_s\ln{Q^2 \over\Lambda_{QCD}^2}$ approximation of QCD. In difference from our earlier work on that…

Non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) is used to calculate the relativistic correction to the amplitude for exclusive photoproduction of vector Quarkonia in the near-threshold region within the generalized parton distribution (GPD) framework. The…
We present the magnetic dipole($M1$) transitions $V\to P\gamma$ of various heavy-flavored mesons such as $(D,D^*,D_s,D^{*}_s,\eta_c, J/\psi)$ and $(B,B^*,B_s,B^*_s,\eta_b,\Upsilon)$ using the light-front quark model constrained by the…
The heavy quarkonium static potential is discussed within the framework of potential NRQCD. Some quantitative statements are made in the kinematical situation $mv >> \Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ at the level of accuracy of the next-to-leading order…
Combining recent perturbative analyses on the static QCD potential and the quark pole mass, we find that, for the heavy quarkonium states $c\bar{c}$, $b\bar{b}$ and $t\bar{t}$, (1) ultra-soft (US) corrections in the binding energies are…
In this work, the non-relativistic asymptotic behavior of the transition $q\overline{q}\rightarrow2g\rightarrow q\overline{q}$ in the $^1S_0$ channel is discussed. Different with the usual calculation which expands the physical amplitude…
The `renormalon' or `dispersive' method for estimating non-perturbative corrections to QCD observables is reviewed. The corrections are power-suppressed, i.e. of the form $A/Q^p$ where $Q$ is the hard process momentum scale. The renormalon…
Radiative magnetic dipole decays of heavy-light vector mesons into pseudoscalar mesons V -> P\gamma are considered within the relativistic quark model. The light quark is treated completely relativistically, while for the heavy quark the…
I discuss heavy quarkonium radiative transitions and the related issue of the quarkonium magnetic moment inside effective field theories. Differences in set up and conclusions with respect to typical phenomenological approaches are…
We discuss $1/Q$ corrections to hard processes in QCD where $Q$ is a large mass parameter like the total energy in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The main problem we address ourselves to is whether these corrections to different processes…
Within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization formalism, we compute QCD next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to the helicity amplitudes as well as the decay width of $Z\to H+\gamma$, where $H$ can be $\eta_Q…
We compute in order alpha_s the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) short-distance coefficients that match quark-antiquark operators of all orders in the heavy-quark velocity v to the electromagnetic current. We employ a new method to compute the…
We reanalyze the perturbative QCD (pQCD) corrections to quarkonium QCD sum rules and extract the heavy quark masses $\overline{m}_{q}(\overline{m}_{q})$ ($q=c,b$). At present, the pQCD corrections to the correlation functions of two…
