We present a complete description of top quark pair production in association with a hard photon in the dilepton channel. Our calculation is accurate to NLO in QCD. It is based on matrix elements for $e^+\nu_e \mu^-\bar{\nu}_\mu b…
We discuss the production of the exotic doubly-charmed tetraquark mesons ${\rm T}_{{\rm c}{\rm c}}({\rm c}{\rm c}\bar{\rm u}\bar{\rm d})$ from electron-positron collisions. ${\rm T}_{{\rm c}{\rm c}}({\rm c}{\rm c}\bar{\rm u}\bar{\rm d})$ is…
Production of pentaquark $\Theta^+$ baryons in central relativistic heavy ion collisions is studied in a kinetic model. Assuming that a quark-gluon plasma is produced in the collisions, we first determine the number of $\Theta^+$ produced…
The baryons containing two heavy quarks and a light quark are believed to have the diquark-quark structure and the diquark is composed of the two heavy quarks which is a spin-0 or spin-1 object. The superflavor symmetry can associate…
The triply heavy baryons are very different in their mass. They are essentially $\Omega_{ccc}$, $\Omega_{ccb}$, $\Omega_{cbb}$ and $\Omega_{bbb}$ baryons which may be produced in a $c$ or a $b$ quark fragmentation. Here we briefly review…

The yields of $X_{cs\bar{c}\bar{s}}$ with its two possible configurations, i.e., the hadronic molecular state and tetraquark state, for Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02~\rm{TeV}$ is studied. A volume effect is found from the…
In this paper we review the hadroproduction mechanisms of double-charm baryons for the different experimental environments and reinterpret the SELEX and LHCb results.
The leading-order process for the production of a Z boson and a heavy-quark jet at hadron colliders is gQ -> ZQ (Q=c,b). We calculate this cross section at next-to-leading order at the Tevatron and the LHC, and compare it with other sources…
The exclusive photoproduction of the heavy vector mesons $\psi$'s and $Y$'s is investigated in peripheral lead-lead collisions for the energies available at the LHC, $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ TeV and $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ TeV. In order to evaluate the…
Ultra-peripheral collisions are the energy frontier for photon-mediated interactions, reaching, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), $\gamma-p$ center of mass energies five to ten times higher than at HERA and reaching $\gamma\gamma$…

Measurements of quarkonia production in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions are of important value to study photon-photon and photon-nucleus interactions, the partonic structure of nuclei, and mechanisms of vector-meson production. LHCb…

The LHC is not only the highest energy collider for protons and heavy ions, but also for photon photon and photon hadron ($\gamma$p and $\gamma$Pb) interactions. This is because the protons and ions accelerated in the LHC carry an…
