A brief survey of the role of heavy flavors as a probe of the state of matter produced by high energy heavy ion collisions is presented. Specific examples include energy loss, initial state gluon saturation, thermalization and flow. The…
We develop a quark-diquark effective mass formalism for heavy-flavor baryon spectroscopy and apply it to the $J^P = \tfrac{1}{2}^+$ and $J^P = \tfrac{3}{2}^+$ spectra across the singly, doubly, and triply heavy sectors. The analysis is…

We evaluate the couplings of pions in the transitions of positive parity heavy mesons, (1+,2+) and (0+,1+), to negative parity ones (0-,1-) using a technique which is not limited to the soft-pion limit. This is made through a constituent…
$\pi^+\pi^-$ transitions of heavy quarkonia, especially the $ \Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decay process, are revisited. In the framework of the Chiral Unitary Theory (ChUT), the $S$ wave $\pi\pi$ final state interaction (FSI) is…
We study the excited $B$ mesons' contributions to the coupled-channel effects under the framework of ${}^3P_0$ model for the bottomonium. Contrary to what has been widely accepted, the contributions of $P$ wave $B$ mesons are generally the…
We show how effects of compositeness emerging in a Composite 2-Higgs Doublet Model can enter Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs pair production at the Large Hadron Collider in both resonant and non-resonant mode. Such effects can arise from…
We resum threshold double logarithms that appear in inclusive production of heavy quarkonium. This resolves the catastrophic failure of fixed-order perturbation theory where quarkonium cross sections at large transverse momentum can turn…

In this paper we study the high energy exclusive photoproduction of heavy quarkonia pairs in the leading order of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_{s}$. In the suggested mechanism the quarkonia pairs are produced with opposite charge…
