The color-evaporation model quantitatively describes all data on photoproduction and hadroproduction of charmonium. Although the model is in part nonperturbative, the associated parameters can for instance be determined from the charmonium…
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…
The measurement of the inelastic photoproduction of charmonium at HERA seems to have ignited a new charmonium crisis. The (already discredited) color singlet model fits the data for large charmonium energy fraction z, where the NRQCD model…
In the article, the study of unpolarized $J/\psi$ production in proton-proton collisions is presented. The Soft Gluon Resummation approach as a TMD framework was used for description of small-$p_T^{}$ production cross section. The Improved…
I discuss issues related to charmonium production, in view of physics possibilities at a 15 ... 30 GeV continuous beam electron facility. High energy photo- and hadroproduction of heavy quarkonia presents several challenges to QCD models…

Charmonia hadro- and photo-production are analyzed in the framework of the color-octet model taking into account higher-order effects induced by initial-state radiation of gluons. We argue that color-octet matrix elements obtained from…

Our goal is the study of color effects on the $J/\psi$ and $D$ mesons production, as well as the study of their elastic production. We use the Color Evaporation Model (CEM), where a single factor takes into account the probability that the…

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…
The CDF preliminary analysis on polarized charmonium production at moderate transverse momentum, $p_T \sim 4 - 20$ GeV, severely challenges the color octet model (COM), which predicts quarkonium to be transversely polarized with increasing…
Charmonium productions in $p-p$ and $A-B$ collisions have been estimated within the ambit of colour evaporation model (CEM). The model parameters have been fixed by fitting the theoretical results with CDF data. The method is then applied…
We present in this work a study of large-\pt\ charmonium production in hadronic collisions. We work in the framework of the factorization model of Bodwin Braaten and Lepage, thereby including the color octet production mechanism, and…
The direct charmonium and bottomonium production rate observed at high-pt in pp-bar collisions at the Tevatron is factors of ten larger than predictions based on conventional perturbative QCD. We show that this excess can be accounted for…
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…
We develop a model to study tetraquark production in hadronic collisions. We focus on double parton scattering and formulate a version of the color evaporation model for the production of the $X(3872)$ and of the $T_{4c}$ tetraquark, a…
We compute the decay rates and $H$-energy distributions of $B$ mesons into the final state $H+X$, where $H$ can be any one of the $S$-wave or $P$-wave charmonia, at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. We find that a significant…
It is shown that the nuclear shadowing of charmonium due to the modification of the nuclear parton distribution is similar in the factorization approach based on non relativistic QCD and in the color evaporation model. In the first model, a…
We study charmonium production at high-energy colliders (Tevatron, HERA, and LEP2) in the framework of the k_T-factorization approach and the factorization formalism of non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics at leading order in the…
