We reconsider the tree level color-singlet contribution for the inclusive J/\psi production in \Upsilon decay with the \alpha_{s}^{5} order QCD process \Upsilon\to J/\psi+c\bar{c}+g and \alpha^{2}\alpha_s^{2} order QED processes…

We calculate the production of J/psi mesons by neutrino-nucleon collisions in fixed target experiments. Soft color, often referred to as color evaporation effects, enhance production cross sections due to the contribution of color octet…
I discuss the impact of color-octet contributions and higher-order QCD corrections on the cross section for inelastic $J/\psi$ photoproduction. The theoretical predictions are compared with recent experimental data obtained at HERA.
Photoproduction of $J/\psi$ is considered including the color-octet contributions from the various partial wave states, $^{2S+1}L_J$ = $^1S_0$, $^3S_1$ and $^3P_J$. The production cross section depends on three new nonperturbative…

A number of important observables exhibit logarithms in their perturbative description that are induced by emissions at widely separated rapidities. These include transverse-momentum ($q_T$) logarithms, logarithms involving heavy-quark or…
The hard-scattering contributions to heavy-to-light form factors at large recoil are studied systematically in soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). Large logarithms arising from multiple energy scales are resummed by matching QCD onto…
In this work, we calculate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections to the process $p+p \to J/\psi + \gamma$ via the color-singlet mechanism at the LHC. The results show that the partial cross section ($p_t^{J/\psi}>$3GeV and…
In this talk I give an overview of soft collinear effective theory (SCET), including a discussion of some recent advances. First, I briefly cover the foundation upon which SCET is built, namely QCD factorization, and review the theoretical…
We consider J/psi photoproduction in e+ e- as well as linear photon colliders. We find that the process is dominated by the resolved photon channel. Both the once-resolved and twice-resolved cross-sections are sensitive to (different…
