In the threshold region, the cross section and the associated overlap integral obey the Wigner threshold law that results in the Wigner-cusp phenomenon. Due to flux conservation, a cusp anomaly in one channel manifests itself in other open…

Recent analyses show that it is possible to produce a strong magnetic field at a very early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions (URHIC), therefore, the effect of homogeneity and constant strong magnetic field on the heavy meson…
We study the bottomonium spectrum in the nonrelativistic quark model with the coupled-channel effects. The mass shifts and valence $b\bar{b}$ component are evaluated to be rather large. We find that the hadronic loop effects can be…
We have shown that if one relaxes the constraint that the quarks in a heavy quarkonium are at rest and on-shell, new contributions to the discontinuity of the production amplitude appear. These can be seen as a s-cut in the amplitude and…
We give a pedagogical introduction to heavy quarkonia -- bound states of a heavy quark and its antiquark (e.g., charmonium $c\bar{c}$, bottomonium $b\bar{b}$) -- as well as to the exotic hadrons containing two heavy quarks that have been…
Integration of superpartners out of the spectrum induces potentially large contributions to Yukawa couplings. These corrections, the supersymmetric threshold corrections, therefore influence the CKM matrix prediction in a non-trivial way.…
