Pair production of new vector-like quarks in pp collisions is considered model independent as it is usually dominated by QCD production. We discuss the interpretation of vector-like quark searches in the case that QCD is not the only…
We calculate the direct production rate of $J/\psi$ in top quark decays. The color-octet $J/\psi$ production via $t\rightarrow W^+ b J/\psi$ is shown to have a large branching ratio of order $1.5\times 10^{-4}$, which is over an order of…
The recent high precision SMC data on polarized $\mu p$ scatterings have again confirmed that very little of the proton spin is carried by quarks. To unravel the mystery of the proton spin structure, it is quite important to know the…
We consider J/psi meson photoproduction on protons at high energies at the leading order in alpha_s using conventional parton model and k_t-factorization approach of QCD. It is shown that in the both cases the colour singlet mechanism gives…
Production mechanisms for quarkonium states in hadronic collisions remain difficult to understand. The decay angular distributions of J/$\psi$ or $\Upsilon(nS)$ states into $\mu^+ \mu^-$ final states are sensitive to the matrix elements in…
The amplitude of diffractive $\rho$ (and open quark) leptoproduction on a polarized target is calculated in the leading log approximation of pQCD using the hadron-parton duality hypothesis. The spin-spin asymmetry is expressed in terms of…

The coupling of Higgs with gauge bosons can receive non-decoupling corrections due to heavy quanta. Deviation from the SM predictions are described by a set of parameters e_V, which can be related to the parameters S,T. The Higgs production…
We discuss inclusive production of pairs of $J/\psi$ quarkonia. Both leading-order single parton (box) contribution and double-parton contributions are included. In addition we discuss a contribution of higher-order two-gluon exchange and a…
Recent experiments have found spin alignment of $J/\psi$ with respect to event plane in heavy ion collisions, suggesting a medium effect that is spin dependent. We propose a possible mechanism with polarized dissociation from the motion of…
We formulate the single transverse spin asymmetry in heavy quarkonium production in lepton-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon collisions in the non-relativistic limit. We find that the asymmetry is very sensitive to the production mechanism. The…
Perturbative QCD is applied to investigate the near threshold heavy quarkonium photoproduction at large momentum transfer. We take into account the contributions from the leading three-quark Fock states of the nucleon. The dominant…
The rates for diffractive quarkonium plus prompt-photon associated production at the LHC are estimated. The theoretical framework considered in the J/Psi (or Upsilon) production associated with a direct photon at the hadron collider is the…
In the framework of kt-factorization approach, the production and polarization of prompt psi(2S) mesons in pp collisions at the LHC energies is studied. Our consideration is based on the non-relativistic QCD formalism for bound states and…
The amplitude for $\gamma p \to V p$, where $V$ is a $J/\psi$ or $\Upsilon$ ground state or excited vector meson, is calculated in a pQCD $k_{T}$-factorization approach. We use this amplitude to predict the cross section for exclusive…
