Here we would like to review recent progress on the resummation on logarithms of $\alpha_s$ in heavy quarkonium. We will mainly focus on the phenomenological relevance of these achievements. Determinations of the $\eta_b(1S)$ mass,…
Some examples of the most recent applications of the NRQCD factorization approach to quarkonium phenomenology are presented. In the first part of the talk the NLO calculations for $\chicj$ and $\Upsilon$ decays rates are compared to the…
Quarkonia (J/Psi, Psi', Upsilon) production provides a sensitive probe of gluon distributions and their modification in nuclei; and is a leading probe of the hot-dense (deconfined) matter created in high-energy collisions of heavy ions. I…
Production of metastable charmonium states more massive than the $\psi(3685)$ is expected in models and could be the source of up to $50\%$ of the $\psi$ observed at large $p_T$ at the Tevatron.Narrow $2^{-+},2^{--} c\bar{c}$ are predicted…
I discuss NRQCD and, in particular, the NRQCD factorization formalism for quarkonium production and decay. I also summarize the current status of the comparison between the predictions of NRQCD factorization and experimental measurements.
We provide an update on our semi-classical transport approach for quarkonium production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, focusing on $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ mesons in 5.02 TeV Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at both…
Quarkonia represent excellent tools for understanding the role of multiparton interactions (MPI) in small systems, i.e., pp and p-A collisions. Probing MPI with quarkonia can be done directly by looking at quarkonium associated production,…
The H1 Collaboration recently reported a new analysis on the inelastic photo- production of J/\psi mesons at DESY HERA ep collider. We show that these new experimental results are well described by the Color Evaporation Model for quarkonium…
We propose an improved version of the color evaporation model to describe heavy quarkonium production. In contrast to the traditional color evaporation model, we impose the constraint that the invariant mass of the intermediate heavy…

This report reviews recent theory progress in the field of heavy quarkonium and open heavy flavour production calculations.
We use recent lattice data on the heavy quark potential in order to determine the dissociation temperatures of different quarkonium states in hot strongly interacting matter. Our analysis shows in particular that certain quarkonium states…
The recent development of perturbative QCD (PQCD) fragmentation functions has strong impact on quarkonium production. I shall summarize $B_c$ meson production based on these PQCD fragmentation functions, as well as, the highlights of some…
ALICE has measured quarkonium production in p-Pb collisions at backward ($-$4.46 $<$ $y_{\rm cms}$ $<$ $-$2.96), mid ($-$1.37 $<$ $y_{\rm cms}$ $<$ 0.43) and forward (2.03 $<$ $y_{\rm cms}$ $<$ 3.53) rapidity ($y$) regions down to zero…
We study phenomenologically the invariant mass spectra of scalar dipion states produced in cascade decays of excited $\Upsilon$ and $\psi$, and $J/\psi$ decays into light vector meson. Dipion production amplitude is given as a product of…
We report recent progress on theoretical investigations of quarkonia at finite temperature. We discuss medium modification of charmonia and bottomonia from a viewpoint of local operators and point out that while charmonia are sensitive to…
We suggest the ratio of the $\psi''(3770)/\psi'(3686)$ production cross sections as an unambiguous probe of the dominance of hard, point-like physics in charmonium production. If hard physics dominates the charmonium production the ratio :…
A study of $B^+ \rightarrow J/\psi \eta K^+$ decays, followed by $J/\psi \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $\eta \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$, is performed using a dataset collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at…
We present predictions for double-quarkonium production in the kinematical region relevant for the proposed fixed-target experiment using the LHC beams (dubbed as AFTER@LHC). These include all spin-triplet S -wave charmonium and bottomonium…
We use dispersion relations to reconstruct, in a model-independent way, the formation dynamics of heavy quarkonium from the experimental data on e+ e- annihilation to Q-bar Q. We extract a distribution of formation times with a mean value…
