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…

We discuss coherent QCD radiation from space-like parton branching and its effects on multi-jet final states at high-energy hadron colliders. Coherence effects for small longitudinal momentum fractions x are not included in the branching…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the $B \to \pi \rho$, $\pi\omega $ decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach up to the next-to-leading-order contributions. We find that the next-to-leading-order…
We present an analysis of the existing data on charmonium hadro-production based on non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) calculations at the next-to-leading order (NLO). All the data on J/psi and psi' production in fixed-target experiments and on…

We consider the transverse-momentum ($q_T$) distribution of $Z$ bosons produced in hadronic collisions. At small values of $q_T$, we perform the analytic resummation of the logarithmically enhanced QED contributions up to next-to-leading…
In this paper, we study the $J/\psi(\Upsilon)$ production in Z boson decay in color-singlet model(CSM). We calculate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD correction to $Z \to Quarkonium+Q\bar{Q}$, the dominant contribution in the CSM, with…
We apply the QCD factorization approach to exclusive, radiative B meson decays in the region of small invariant photon mass. We calculate factorizable and non-factorizable corrections to leading order in the heavy quark mass expansion and…
With ~10fb$^{-1}$ data from Belle, the results of b to c and u decays have been represented here. Several decay modes have been studied, which include charmonium, semileptonic decay and Cabibbo-suppressed decays mode. The preliminary…
The decay rates of P-wave heavy quarkonia to light hadrons are presented to leading order in $v^2$ and next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. They include contributions from both the color-singlet component and the color-octet component of…
The exclusive decay of $\Upsilon$ to a vector plus pseudoscalar charmonium is studied in perturbative QCD. The corresponding branching ratios are predicted to be of order $10^{-6}$ for first three $\Upsilon$ resonances, and we expect these…
Simulations of QCD suffer from severe critical slowing down towards the continuum limit. This problem is known to be prominent in the topological charge, however, all observables are affected to various degree by these slow modes in the…
We compare two Monte Carlo implementations of resummation schemes for the description of parton evolution at small values of Bjorken x. One of them is based on the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) evolution equation and generates fully…
We argue that charmonium decays into meson pairs fall into two distinct classes: one that is under control of perturbative QCD and another one that is governed by a soft mechanism. We concentrate on a systematic analysis of J/Psi (Psi')…
We compute the O(alpha_s^2) correction to the decay rate eta_c --> gamma gamma and discuss its implications for precision quarkonium physics. We study the suitability of the ratio Gamma(J/psi --> e+e-)/Gamma(eta_c --> gamma gamma), in which…
We present a new model, based on colour rearrangements, which at the same time can describe both hidden and open charm production in B-meson decays. The model is successfully compared to both inclusive decays, such as B to J/psi X and B to…
We perform numerical comparison of the fragmentation mechanism of charmonium production ($g\,g\to c\,\bar{c}$ followed by $c\to\psi\,c$) with the full leading order calculation ($g\,g\to\psi\,c\,\bar{c}$ at ${\O} (\alpha_s^4)$). We conclude…
The charmonium transitions from the $\chi_{cJ}$ states to $\eta_c$ with emission of one or two pions are considered. It is shown that the only processes of such type arising in the leading order in the QCD multipole expansion are the decays…
