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…
In this paper we analyze the photoproduction of heavy quarkonia pairs which include $b$-quarks, such as $B_{c}^{+}B_{c}^{-}$-mesons or charmonium-bottomonium pairs. Compared to charmonia pair production, these channels get contributions…
The production fraction of the $B_c^-$ meson with respect to the sum of $B^-$ and $\bar{B}^0$ mesons is measured in both 7 and 13 TeV center-of-mass energy $pp$ collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), using the LHCb…
The $B_c$ meson, a unique bound state comprising of two open heavy flavors, charm and bottom, offers a rich avenue for probing the predictions of the Next Decade - Standard Model (ND-SM) physics properties due to its heavy mass. With recent…

High-energy heavy-ion collisions have been suggested as a favorable environment for the production of $B_c$ mesons, due to a much larger abundance of charm and bottom quarks compared to elementary reactions. Motivated by recent CMS data for…

The recombination production of $B_c$ mesons in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC energy is facilitated by the abundant and highly thermalized charm ($c$) quarks transported in the deconfined medium created. We study the production of $B_c$…
We investigate hadroproduction of $B_c$ mesons from initial gluons using QCD perturbation theory and nonrelativistic bound state approximations. Our results obtained by two completely independent calculations are confronted with existing…
The different QCD processes, which can produce a heavy quark-antiquark ($Q\bar Q$) pair, induce different correlations between the heavy quarks. Employing the EPOS4HQ event generator we study the consequences of these correlations and…
We study prompt hadroproduction of the charged bottomonium-like states $Z_b^\pm (10610)$ and $Z_b^\pm (10650)$, and the charged charmonium-like states $Z_c^\pm (3900)$ and $Z_c^\pm (4020)$, at the Tevatron and the LHC, provided that these…
The $B_c$--meson production cross section was calculated in the perturbative QCD. Various distributions of the charged leptons from the $B_c \to l \nu J/\psi(\to l^+ l^-)$ decay were obtained. The $B_c$--meson mass measurement from such…
Using photon-photon collisions as a particularly transparent study case we investigate the production mechanisms for $B_c$ mesons. In nonrelativistic approximation and to $O(\alpha^2\alpha_s^2)$ it is shown that recombination of $\bar{b}$-…
The cross-section for the production of $b{\bar b} c{\bar c}$ quarks in $e^+e^-$ annihilation, that proves to be at a level of $\sigma (e^+e^- \rightarrow b{\bar b} c{\bar c})/ \sigma (e^+e^- \rightarrow b{\bar b}) \sim 10^{-2}$ for ${\sqrt…
