Within the framework of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics, this study examines the electroproduction processes $e+p\to e+B_c+\overline{c}+b$, $e+p\to e+B_s+\overline{s}+b$, and $e+p\to e+D_s+\overline{c}+s$ at lepton-hadron colliders.…
Photoproduction can be studied at hadron colliders by using the virtual photons associated with the hadron beams. The LHC will reach photonucleon energies 10 times higher than that available elsewhere. These reactions are already being…

Two of the approaches to the hadronic productions of the double heavy mesons $B_c$ and $B_c^*$ are investigated. Comparison in various aspects on the results obtained by the approaches is made and shown in figures and a table. Some trial…
The production of the B_c and B_c^* mesons was studied in the framework of the factorization formalism and perturbative QCD. Predicted results implied that an observable number of B_c and B_c^* events can be produced at LEP I and at…
We discuss two-photon and hadronic production of $B_c$ mesons in nonrelativistic bound state approximation and to lowest order in the coupling constants $\alpha$ and $\alpha_s$. It is shown that in photon-photon collisions, heavy quark…
