This paper is concerned with the physics of meson decays to J/psi and phi.These decays have been observed at the Tevatron [7] and, in particular, should be copiously observed at the LHCb detector. This paper gives a concise presentation of…
Charm in electron proton collisions is a particularly large and interesting field. For this summary two topics particularly relevant for HERA have been selected. First the study of inelastic J/psi production in both the photoproduction and…
We discuss the production of charmonium states in antiproton-nucleus collisions at the $\psi'$ threshold. It is explained that measurements in $\bar p A$ collisions will allow to get new information about the strengths of the inelastic…
Based on nonrelativistic QCD, we present the first complete next-to-leading order study on the polarization of prompt J/psi hadroproduction by including feeddown from chi_c(^3P_J^1,^3S_1^8) and psi(2s) which turn out to be a very important…
Production of J/\psi mesons in heavy ion collisions is considered within the statistical coalescence model. The model is in agreement with the experimental data of the NA50 Collaboration for Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV in a wide…
We suggest that generalized parton distributions can be probed in charged current meson production process, $ep\to\nu_{e}\pi^{-}p$. In contrast to pion photoproduction, this process is sensitive to the unpolarized GPDs $H,\,E$, and for this…
Models with essential non-perturbative QCD dynamics for the production of charmonium are extrapolated to give predictions of prompt J/psi production at the LHC. Differences of up to an order of magnitude occurs, although the different…
Status of the new experimental program to study hadron production in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN SPS will be presented. A physics motivation will be given for the part of the program related to the physics of…
We examine the production of J/$\Psi$ mesons in high energy hadron-nucleus collisions using models that account for both the initial state modification of parton distributions in nuclei and the final state interaction of the produced $c\bar…
Charmonium production from the hadron gas formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is studied. Using the $J/\psi$-hadron absorption cross section determined from the nonperturbative quark-exchange model, which has a peak value…
The ALICE collaboration has made the first measurement at the LHC of J/$\psi$ photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb-collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV. The J/$\psi$ is identified via its dimuon decay in the forward rapidity…
A kinetic equation approach is applied to model anomalous J/psi suppression at RHIC and SPS by absorption in a hadron resonance gas which successfully describes statistical hadron production in both experiments. The puzzling rapidity…
We give an overview of the present status of knowledge of the production of J/psi, psi' and Upsilon in high-energy hadron collisions. We first present two early models, namely the Colour-Singlet Model (CSM) and the Colour-Evaporation Model…
The LHC quarkonium production measurements reveal a startling observation: the J/$\psi$, $\psi$(2S), $\chi_{c1,2}$ and $\Upsilon$(nS) $p_{\rm T}$-differential cross sections are compatible with one universal momentum scaling pattern.…
In this work we propose mainly phenomenological and theoretical models that allow, together with the use of the available experimental data, the calculation of form factors (FFs) and decay amplitudes. We focus our attention firstly on the…
In this talk, I start with a brief introduction to Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and its applications to quarkonium physics. This theory has provided a consistent framework for the physics of quarkonia, in particular, the colour-octet Fock…
The production of $J/\psi$ pairs in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV has been observed using an integrated luminosity of $37.5 pb^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. The production cross-section for pairs…
The experimental ratio of $\psi'$ to $J/\psi$ is approximately a constant in $pA$ collisions, but decreases as the transverse energy increases in nucleus-nucleus collisions. These peculiar features can be explained as arising from…
The electromagnetic productions of $J \psi$ associated with light hadrons(LH) and leptonic pairs($\mu^+\mu^-$, $\tau^+\tau^-$) at $B$ factories are studied. We find that the direct electromagnetic production cross sections of $J /…
Open heavy flavour and J/psi production are powerful tools to test pQCD calculations in proton-proton collisions in the new LHC energy regime. In addition, they provide the necessary reference for the ALICE heavy-ion program. The ALICE…
