We use the vacuum expectation value of a Wegner-Wilson loop representing a fast moving quark-antiquark pair to derive the light cone Hamiltonian for a $q\bar q$ meson. We solve the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation for various trial wave…

We review our recent results for production of $\eta_c(1S)$ and $\eta_c(2S)$ in the $\gamma^* \gamma^* \to \eta_c(1S,2S)$ fusion and in proton-proton collisions via gluon-gluon fusion. The quarkonium wave functions are calculated by solving…

One of the outstanding problems in J/\psi physics is a systematic understanding of the differential photo-production cross section dsigma/dz(gamma + p -> J/psi + X), where z= E_psi/E_gamma in the proton rest frame. The theoretical…

Over a large fraction of phase space a combination of an operator product and heavy quark expansions effectively turn the decay $\bar B -> D^{(*)0} e+e-$ into a ``short distance'' process, i.e., one in which the weak and electromagnetic…
A measurement of the cross-section for pp->Z->e+e- is presented using data at sqrt{s}=7TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.94 fb^{-1}. The process is measured within the kinematic acceptance pT>20GeV/c and 2<\eta<4.5 for the…
