We study the evolution of charmonia as they collide with the constituents of the fireball produced in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The latter evolves in a manner controlled by the equation of state as given by lattice QCD, and is…
In this paper, we analyze the $1 \rightarrow 4$ decay channel for the production of doubly heavy quarkonium, $(b\bar{c})$ or $(c\bar{c})$, via top-quark decays, $t \to (b\bar{c}) + c + c + \bar{s}$ and $t \to (c\bar{c}) + b + c + \bar{s}$,…

About 40-50 % of the quarkonium ground states J/psi(1S) and Upsilon(1S) produced in hadronic collisions originate from the decay of higher excitations. In a hot medium, these higher states are dissociated at lower temperatures than the more…

The process AB --> Quarkonium + photon + X, for a heavy quarkonium state such as J/psi or Upsilon, is considered. The ratio of the cross-sections for this process in pp and pp(bar) collisions is shown to be a vary sensitive probe of models…

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…
Proton-proton collisions at the LHC provide the ground for tests of the strong interactions through the study of the production mechanisms for quarkonia and hadrons containing charm or beauty flavours. This review addresses recent results…
We calculate the yields of quarkonia in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC as a function of their transverse momentum. Based upon non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics, our results include both color-singlet and color-octet…
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 $H^{0}$…
Heavy quarkonium production in ultra-peripheral nuclear collisions (UPC) is described within the QCD dipole formalism. Realistic quarkonium wave functions in the $Q\bar Q$ rest frame are calculated by solving the Schr\"odinger equation with…

Recent data from the Tevatron have revealed that the production rate of prompt charmonium is more than an order of magnitude larger than the best theoretical predictions of a few years ago. This surprising result can be understood by taking…
