Photonuclear reactions are induced by the strong electromagnetic field generated by ultrarelativistic heavy ions. These processes have been extensively studied in ultraperipheral collisions. In recent years, the observation of coherent…
We resum threshold double logarithms in inclusive production of heavy quarkonium that arise from singularities near the boundary of phase space. This resolves the catastrophic failure in the conventional approach based on fixed-order…

We update the study of the total Psi and Upsilon production cross section in proton-proton collisions at RHIC energies using the QCD-based Color-Singlet (CS) Model, including next-to-leading order partonic matrix elements. We also include…
We report the latest results of J/psi, psi(2S) and Upsilon production in the dielectron decay channel at mid-rapidity, from the STAR experiment. We present J/psi cross section measurements in p+p collisions at 200 and 500 GeV, as well as…
The question how well nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization can describe quarkonium production has been subject to debate since its invention. We review our recent reanalysis of a classic next-to-leading order color octet (CO) long…
In the paper, we derive the next-to-leading order (NLO) fragmentation function for a heavy quark, either charm or bottom, into a heavy quarkonium $J/\Psi$ or $\Upsilon$. The ultra-violet divergences in the real corrections are removed…

We report the results on heavy quarkonium production in p+p and Au+Au collisions at midrapidity via the dielectron decay channel at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment at RHIC. Results on the J/psi p_T spectra in p+p collisions…
Based on the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD), we calculate the production cross section for the charmonium and the bottomonium produced by the hard photoproduction processes and fragmentation…
Non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) is used to calculate the relativistic correction to the amplitude for exclusive photoproduction of vector Quarkonia in the near-threshold region within the generalized parton distribution (GPD) framework. The…
We present the computation of the direct photon production cross-section in perturbative QCD to all orders in the limit of high partonic center-of-mass energy. We show how the high-energy resummation can be performed consistently in the…
We investigate the proposal that the rise with energy of the ratio of the exclusive photo-production cross-sections of vector mesons $\Psi(2s)$ and $J/\Psi$ can serve as an indicator for the presence of high gluon densities and associated…
We calculate the polarisation of $\psi$'s and $\Upsilon$'s produced by the fragmentation of heavy quarks. We find that fragmentation to transversely aligned quarkonium is slightly enhanced relative to longitudinally polarised. This net…
The inclusive diffractive quarkonium photoproduction in $pp$ and $pA$ collisions is investigated considering the Resolved Pomeron Model to describe the diffractive interaction. We estimate the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions…
In pp collisions at LHC energies, heavy quarks are produced in initial hard scatterings and then these quarks hadronize in either open heavy-flavor hadrons or quarkonia (e.g. J/$\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\Upsilon$). The study of quarkonium…
This article reports on the inclusive production cross section of several quarkonium states, $\mathrm{J}/\psi$, $\psi {\rm (2S)}$, $\Upsilon\rm(1S)$, $\Upsilon\rm(2S)$, and $\Upsilon\rm(3S)$, measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC, in…
We compute the total cross section of a heavy quarkonium on a hadron target in leading twist QCD, including target mass corrections. Our method relies on the analytical continuation of the operator product expansion of the scattering…
In a typical exclusive quarkonium production process, when the center-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}$, is much greater than the heavy quark mass $m$, large kinematic logarithms of $s/m^2$ will unavoidably arise at each order of perturbative…
The production of heavy quarkonia is a powerful tool to test our understanding of strong interaction dynamics. It is well-known that the dominant production mechanism for heavy quarkonia with large transverse momentum is fragmentation. In…
