We propose a qualitatively new mechanism for quarkonium production, motivated by the global features of the experimental data and by the successes/failures of existing models. In QCD, heavy quarks are created in conjunction with a…
The contrast between model predictions for the transverse momentum spectra of J/Psi observed in Au-Au collisions at RHIC is extended to include effects of nuclear absorption. We find that the difference between initial production and…
More than 30 years after the discovery of the J/psi, its production mechanism is still poorly understood. With the LHC data it will be possible to study quarkonia up to very high transverse momenta and with high statistics. In this note we…
The quarkonium production in association with a heavy-quark pair of the same flavor was found plays an important role in various production schemes, let alone it provides a distinctive signature that could be studied in experiment. Within…
We calculate the production of J/psi mesons by neutrino-nucleon collisions in fixed target experiments. Soft color, often referred to as color evaporation effects, enhance production cross sections due to the contribution of color octet…
Energy dependence of heavy quarkonia production in hadron-nucleus collisions is studied in the framework of the Glauber-Gribov theory. We emphasize a change in the space-time picture of heavy-quark state production on nuclei with energy.…
The production process of quarkonia in proton-proton (pp) collision is a very good probe of the parton structure of the proton. Recent experimental data of the production of J/psi+vector boson or quarkonium pairs at the LHC and Tevatron…
We show that both hard perturbative and soft non-perturbative QCD effects are important in hadroproduction of charmonium. Observed $x_F$ and $p_\perp$ distributions of J/psi in fixed target experiments can be well described by our Monte…
The transverse momentum (pt) dependence of J/psi production in heavy ion collisions is investigated in a transport model with both initial production and continuous regeneration of charmonia. The competition between the two production…
We investigate the inclusive production of double quarkonia ($J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\Upsilon$ mesons) in polarized hadron-hadron collisions, considering the kinematic configuration where the transverse momentum of each pair of bound states…
In a previous paper, we had modified Non-Relativistic QCD as it applies to quarkonium production by taking into account the effect of perturbative soft-gluon emission from the colour-octet quarkonium states. We tested the model by fitting…
After a brief review of the various scenarios for quarkonium production in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions we focus on the ingredients and assumptions underlying the statistical hadronization model. We then confront model…
In terms of a new QCD factorization formula for J/$\psi$ production, we calculate the J/$\psi$ suppression in nuclear collisions by including the multiple scattering between the pre-J/$\psi$ partonic states and the nuclear medium. We find…
We study the Central Exclusive Production (CEP) of chi_cJ and eta_c mesons at RHIC in proton-proton collisions. We consider the chi_cJ --> J/psi + gamma decay channels and, recalling that the J_z=0 suppression of the J=1,2 states can be…
It has been suggested that the production of a heavy quarkonium near threshold in electron-proton scattering can shed light on the origin of the proton mass via the QCD trace anomaly. We study the photoproduction of $J/\psi$ off the proton…
Lightly triggered events may yield surprises about the nature of "soft" particle production at LHC energies. I suggest that event displays in coordinates matched to the dynamics of particle production (rapidity and transverse momentum) may…

In pp collisions at LHC energies, heavy quarks are produced in initial hard scatterings and then these quarks hadronize in either open heavy-flavor hadrons or quarkonia (e.g. J/$\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\Upsilon$). The study of quarkonium…
We investigate light dark matter production associated with a heavy quarkonium at B factories in a model-independent way by adopting the effective field theory approach for the interaction of dark matter with standard model particles. We…
