The theoretical description of heavy quarkonium production at high-energy p-pbar and e-p colliders is reviewed. Predictions based on non-relativistic QCD factorisation are confronted with recent charmonium and bottomonium data from the…
By coupling the Boltzmann transport equations of both quarkonium and open heavy quarks, we investigate their dynamical evolution inside the quark-gluon plasma and study quarkonium production in heavy ion collisions. The Boltzmann transport…
Quarkonium production has long been regarded as a potential signature of deconfinement in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Recently, the production of J/$\psi$ via regeneration within the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) or at the phase boundary has…

We describe updated calculations of $Q \bar Q$ production in $pp$ and $\pi^- p$ interactions. We compare these results to total cross section data and discuss how the baseline cross sections extrapolate to heavy ion collider energies. We…
A few topics on the expansion in heavy quark mass are discussed. The theoretical framework is the Wilson Operator Product Expansion rather than the Heavy Quark Effective Theory.
We investigate near-threshold production of quarkonium resonances in cold nuclear matter through a scaling theory with two exponents which are fixed by existing data on near-threshold J/psi production in proton-nucleus collisions.…
The production of the heavy quarkonium, i.e., $|(c\bar{b})[n]\rangle$ (or $|(b\bar{c})[n]\rangle$), $|(c\bar{c})[n]\rangle$, and $|(b\bar{b})[n]\rangle$- quarkonium [$|(Q\bar{Q'})[n]\rangle$-quarkonium for short], through Higgs $H^{0}$…
I review recent progress in the calculation of inclusive quarkonium decays in the framework of QCD nonrelativistic effective field theories and in relation to the experimental measurements.
The perturbative QCD approach to quarkonium decay into a photon and hadrons is reconsidered. It is shown that a consistent treatment within perturbative QCD calls for the introduction of a fragmentation contribution which has been neglected…
We discuss heavy quarkonium in the framework of pNRQCD, a QCD effective theory appropriate for the study of heavy quark bound systems.
