The $B_c$--meson production cross section was calculated in the perturbative QCD. Various distributions of the charged leptons from the $B_c \to l \nu J/\psi(\to l^+ l^-)$ decay were obtained. The $B_c$--meson mass measurement from such…
Remarkable progress inspired by twistors has lead to very simple analytic expressions and to new recursive relations for multi-parton color-ordered amplitudes. We show how such relations can be extended to include color and present the…
Color Transparency studies have been since long suggested as a means to study the occurrence and relevance of small size hadronic configurations, predicted within QCD to dominate exclusive scattering processes, by monitoring the passage of…
We compute the decay rates and $H$-energy distributions of $B$ mesons into the final state $H+X$, where $H$ can be any one of the $S$-wave or $P$-wave charmonia, at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. We find that a significant…

The $B_{c}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$ $B_{u,d,s}V$, $B_{u,d,s}P$ decays are investigated with the QCD factorization approach, where $V$ and $P$ denote the ground $SU(3)$ vector and pseudoscalar mesons, respectively. The $B_{c}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$…
The calculation of muon spectra from the decay of Lambda_c baryons was carried out on the basis of the description of recent data on charmed-baryon production in hadronic interactions. Data are described in the framework of Quark--Gluon…

We study the contribution of gluon induced partonic subprocesses to Z gamma pair production at hadron colliders. These processes contribute only at next-to-next-to-leading order but are potentially enhanced by two factors of the gluon…
We calculate the production of pairs of $\chi_c(J)$ mesons with all possible combinations of $J=0,1,2$. The leading order production mechanism is the crossed-channel gluon exchange in the gluon-gluon fusion reaction. The building blocks are…
