We investigate hadroproduction of $B_c$ mesons from initial gluons using QCD perturbation theory and nonrelativistic bound state approximations. Our results obtained by two completely independent calculations are confronted with existing…
We calculate the two-loop and one-loop/one-emission contributions required for soft gluon evolution at the next-to-leading order. The colour structures are expressed in the colour flow basis, and the kinematic dependence and loop integrals…
Gluons cannot directly fragment into $B_c$ mesons until at order $\alpha_s^3$. However, the Altarelli-Parisi evolution of the $\bar b$-quark fragmentation functions $D_{\bar b \to B_c}(z)$ and $D_{\bar b \to B_c^*}(z)$ from the heavy quark…

In this paper, we compute a number of cross sections for the production of multiple particles at mid-rapidity in the semi-dilute / dense regime of the color-glass condensate (CGC) effective field theory. In particular, we present new…
Increasingly, with the data collected at the LHC we are confronted with the possible existence of flow in pp collisions. In this work we show that PYTHIA 8 produces flow-like effects in events with multiple hard subcollisions due to color…
The cross sections of $B_{c}$\ absorption by nucleons are calculated in meson-baryon exchange model using hadronic Lagrangian based on SU(4)/SU(5) flavor symmetries. The values of different coupling constants used in the model are obtained…
The functional renormalisation group is used for the BCS-BEC crossover in gases of ultracold fermionic atoms. In a simple truncation, we see how universality and an effective theory with composite bosonic di-atom states emerge. We obtain a…
At the LHC, the processes with several particles in the final state occur routinely. These processes provide a new domain to test the Standard Model of particle physics. Due to large gluon luminosity at the LHC, gluon initiated processes…
