Charmonium production at heavy-ion colliders is considered within the comovers interaction model. The formalism is extended by including possible secondary J/psi production through recombination and an estimate of recombination effects is…
We proceed for the first time to the evaluation of the Born cross section for J/psi+eta(c) production, namely via g+g -> J/psi+eta(c)+g, and show that it has a harder P_T spectrum than the J/psi-pair yield at Born level. If one stuck to a…
We calculate the cross sections for the production of Higgs particles in association with a photon in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, $e^+ e^- \to \gamma+$Higgs, allowing for the longitudinal polarization of the initial electron and positron beams.…
Of the J/$\psi$ mesons (inclusively) produced in pp collisions, a big fraction results from B decays, increasing with transverse momentum and exceeding 50\% for $p_{\rm T} > 20$ GeV. These events must be subtracted in measurements of the…
Multiple polarization observables must be measured to access the amplitude structure of pseudoscalar meson photoproduction off the proton. The hyperon-producing reactions are especially attractive to study, since the weak decays allow…
Charmonium directed flows are studied based on transport model coupled with the realistic three dimensional expansions of the bulk medium. The non-central symmetric nucleus-nucleus collisions can generate the rotating quark-gluon plasma…
The J/psi is considered to be among the most important probes for the deconfined quark gluon plasma (QGP) created by relativistic heavy ion collisions. While the J/psi is thought to dissociate in the QGP by Debye color screening, there are…
We consider the exclusive production of $J/\psi$ mesons in polarized virtual-photon--proton collisions. We derive helicity amplitudes for the dominant subprocess $\gamma^* g \to J/\psi g$ and show that polarization asymmetries vanish in the…
We study $e^+e^-\to J/\psi c\bar{c}$ by measuring the invariant mass distribution recoiling against fully reconstructed $J/\psi$ decays, using 124 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with a center-of-mass energy of 10.6 GeV with the $BaBar$…
The charge asymmetry in the process $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ is studied taking into account a longitudinal polarization of electrons (positrons). The asymmetry arises due to interference of amplitudes corresponding to production of pions…

The production of $J/\Psi$ mesons in central collisions of heavy nuclei is investigated as a function of collision energy. Two contributions are considered simultaneously: early (hard) production coupled with subsequent suppression in a…
Inspired by the recent observation of $e^+e^-\to \omega X(3872)$ by the BESIII Collaboration, in this work we study the production of the charmonium $\chi_{cJ}(2P)$ by $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We find that the $e^+e^-\to\omega\chi_{c0}(2P)$…
We investigate the $J/\psi$ + c + $\bar{c}$ photoproduction in $e^+ e^-$ collision at the LEP II energy. The physical motivations for this study are: 1) such next-to-leading order(NLO) process was not considered in previous investigations…
We consider the production of tau pairs by electron-positron colliding beams at the maximum cross section near the threshold. At this energy tau pairs are produced mostly in the s-wave which implies that the spin of the tau pairs are almost…
