We calculate the cross sections for the inclusive production in the fragmentation region of $\Theta^+(1540)$ and $\Lambda(1520)$ in $pp$ collisions and $\Lambda(1520)$ in $\Sigma p$ collisions at high energy using the $K$- and $\pi$-meson…

We study the inclusive production of J/psi and psi(2S) mesons originating from the decays of bottom-flavored hadrons produced in p anti-p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron and in pp collisions at the CERN LHC. We work at next-to-leading…
There is a striking suppression of the cross section for production of octet baryons in $e^+ e ^-$ annihilation, as the mass of the produced hadron increases. We present a simple parametrization for the fragmentation functions into octet…
We study charm particle production in hadron-hadron collisions. After calculating perturbatively the charm quark differential cross section, we study the hadronization mechanisms. It is shown that recombination is the key to understand the…

We discuss hadroproduction of open charmed mesons ($D^0$, $D^{\pm}$, $D^{\pm}_{S}$) at the LHC energy $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. The cross section for inclusive production of $c \bar c$ pairs is calculated within the $k_{\perp}$-factorization (or…
We study the productions of charmed baryons ${\bar \Lambda}_c^- \Lambda_c^+$, ${\bar \Lambda}_c^- \Sigma_c^+$, and ${\bar \Sigma}^- \Sigma_c^+$ in the antiproton-proton collisions within an effective Lagrangian model that has only the…
It is argued that in heavy ion collisions at LHC there could be a sizeable production of baryons containing two or three heavy quarks from statistical coalescence. This production mechanism is peculiar of Quark Gluon Plasma and the…
