We use fragmenting jet functions (FJFs) in the context of quarkonia to study the production channels predicted by NRQCD (3S_1^(1), 3S_1^(8), 1S_0^(8), 3P_J^(8)). We choose a set of FJFs that give the probability to find a quarkonium with a…

I review the current status of quarkonium production theory based on the non-relativistic QCD factorization formalism (NRQCD). While this theory describes much of the world's data on J/\psi and \Upsilon production, there are still…

In this paper we discuss the systematics of quarkonium production at the LHC. In particular, we focus on the necessity to sum logs of the form log(Q/p_perp) and log(p_perp/m_Q). We show that the former contributions are power suppressed,…
We study the single parton fragmentation functions (FFs) at the input factorization scale $\mu_0\gtrsim 2m_Q$, with heavy quark mass $m_Q$, in the soft gluon factorization (SGF) approach. We express the FFs in terms of perturbatively…

It is the central goal of our studies to describe parton fragmentation in the hot and dense medium of a quark gluon plasma (QGP). Under the assumption that the medium is not static and homogeneous, knowledge about the temporal evolution of…
