An estimate is presented of the production cross section of $B_c$ mesons between threshold and LHC energies using lowest-order perturbation theory and non-relativistic bound state approximation. It is shown that the ratio of the production…
We employ a mathematical framework based on rational approximants in order to calculate meson form factors. The method profits from unitary, is systematic and data based, and is able to ascribe a systematic uncertainty which provides for…

Both the higher energy and the initial state colored partons contribute to making exact calculations in QCD color space more important at the LHC than at its predecessors. This is applicable whether the method of assessing QCD is fixed…

The physics of the initial conditions of heavy ion collisions is dominated by the nonlinear gluonic interactions of QCD. These lead to the concepts of parton saturation and the Color Glass Condensate (CGC). We discuss recent progress in…

In general-mass variable-flavor-number (GM-VFN) scheme, the `heavy quark mechanisms' of $B_c(B_c^*)$ meson hadroproduction via the sub-processes $g+c\to B_c(B_c^*)+...$ and $g+\bar{b}\to B_c(B_c^*)+...$ are investigated. In the scheme,…
To test a possible color-octet contribution of heavy quarkonium productions, we propose $\psi$'-productions for small-$p_T$ regions, where the color-singlet $\psi$' state cannot be produced by the gluon-gluon fusion owing to charge…
Multi-parton interactions and color reconnection can produce QGP-like effects in small systems, specifically, radial flow-like patterns. For pp collisions simulated with Pythia 8.212, in this work we investigate their effects on different…
We employ the generalized parton picture to analyze the reaction $\pi^- p \rightarrow D^- \Lambda_c^+$. Thereby it is assumed that the process amplitude factorizes into one for the perturbatively calculable subprocess $\bar{u}\ u\rightarrow…
We take hydrodynamic initial conditions in relativistic heavy ion collisions from the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) picture through the kT factorization formula. Gluon distributions produced from the CGC are found to provide good initial…
