The three Upsilon states, Upsilon(1S+2S+3S), are measured in d+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV and rapidities 1.2<|y|<2.2 by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider. Cross sections for the inclusive…
This is a continuation of recent studies of $\Upsilon(nS)$ production at the LHC in pp collisions. Our previous studies were for rapidity y=-1 to 1 for the CMS detector, while the present study is for y=2.5 to 4.0 at the LHC.
This talk is devoted to review the field of strangeness production in (ultra-)relativistic heavy ion collisions within our present theoretical understanding. Historically there have been (at least) three major ideas for the interest in the…
$d^\ast(2380)$ was observed by WASA-at-COSY collaborations in the nuclear reaction recently. Its particularly narrow width may indicate the new QCD-allowed hadronic structure. To further confirm the existence of this peculiar particle in a…
We suggest that the combined effect of screening, gluon-induced dissociation, collisional damping, and reduced feed-down explains most of the sequential suppression of Upsilon(nS) states that has been observed in PbPb relative to pp…
We present a study of l\nu b\bar{b} and l+ l- b\bar{b} production at hadron colliders. Our results, accurate to the next-to-leading order in QCD, are based on automatic matrix-element calculations performed by MadLoop and MadFKS, and are…
We estimate differential rapidity cross sections for $\Psi$ and $\Upsilon$ production via p-Pb collisions at 8 TeV. We use the mixed heavy quark hybrid theory in which the $J/\Psi(1S),\Upsilon(1S),\Upsilon(2S)$ are standard mesons while the…
We calculate electromagnetic production from highly excited hadronic matter created in heavy ion collisions. The rates include the usual lowest order processes in quark-gluon plasma plus the usual reactions in the hadronic phase, related…
The exclusive photoproduction of upsilon states $\Upsilon(1S)$ and its radially excited states $\Upsilon(2S,3S)$ is investigated in the context of ultra-peripheral collisions at the LHC energies. Predictions are presented for their…
We study the charmed baryon production reaction ${\bar p} p \to {\bar \Lambda}_c^- \Lambda_c^+$ using the $t$-channel $D^0$ and $D^{*0}$ meson exchange diagrams within an effective Lagrangian model involving the physical hadron masses and…
The world data on yields and ratios of different $\Upsilon$ states created in hadron collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 19-8000$ GeV are examined in systematic way. We find that $\Upsilon(2S)/\Upsilon(1S)=0.275\pm0.005$ and…
We update the theoretical predictions for direct Y(nS) hadroproduction in the framework of NRQCD. We show that the next-to-leading order corrections in alpha_s to the color-singlet transition significantly raise the differential cross…
Complete suppression of the heavy quarkonium due to the screening mechanism of the quark-gluon plasma is proposed in the literature to be a signature of the quark-gluon plasma detection at RHIC and LHC. However, since the heavy quarkonium…
The respective contributions of cold-matter and hot-medium effects to the suppression of $\Upsilon(1S)$ and $\Upsilon(2S)$ mesons in pPb collisions at energies reached at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are investigated. Whereas known…
Both charm and bottom quarks form nonrelativistic bound states analogous to positronium. The J/psi and psi(2S) charmonium states and the first three Upsilon(nS) bottomonium states, all spin-triplet S-wave quarkonium states below…
We present multiple results on the production of loosely-bound molecules in bottomonium annihilations and $e^+e^-$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 10.58$ GeV. We perform the first comprehensive test of several models for deuteron production…
The first measurement of coherent $\Upsilon$(1S) meson photoproduction off heavy nuclei is performed using ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions collected by the CMS experiment at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The…
The observation of associated production of an $\Upsilon$(1S) meson with a Z boson and a measurement of the ratio of its fiducial cross section to the fiducial cross section of the Z boson are presented. Both the $\Upsilon$(1S) meson and…
In this work, the relation between muon production in extensive air showers and features of hadronic multiparticle production at low energies is studied. Using CORSIKA, we determine typical energies and phase space regions of secondary…
