In this work, we investigate the associated production of prompt heavy quarkonium with a massive (anti)bottom quark to leading order in the NRQCD factorization formalism at the LHC. We present numerical results for the processes involving…
Over a large fraction of phase space a combination of an operator product and heavy quark expansions effectively turn the decay $\bar B -> D^{(*)0} e+e-$ into a ``short distance'' process, i.e., one in which the weak and electromagnetic…
We show that the colour-singlet contributions to the hadroproduction of J/psi in association with a W boson are sizable, if not dominant over the colour-octet contributions. They are of two kinds, sg -> J/psi + c + W at alpha^3_S alpha and…
In this work, we investigate the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD correction to $J/\psi$ associated production with a bottom quark pair from the Higgs boson decay within the nonrelativistic QCD framework. From numerical results, {we find…
We proceed for the first time to the evaluation of the Born cross section for J/psi+eta(c) production, namely via g+g -> J/psi+eta(c)+g, and show that it has a harder P_T spectrum than the J/psi-pair yield at Born level. If one stuck to a…
We reconsider quarkonium production in a field-theoretical setting and we show that the lowest-order mechanism for heavy-quarkonium production receives in general contributions from two different cuts. The first one corresponds to the usual…
We calculate the yields of quarkonia in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC as a function of their transverse momentum. Based upon non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics, our results include both color-singlet and color-octet…
In this work we investigate the exclusive production of a pair of light neutral mesons in $e^+e^-$ annihilation, where the final state bears an even $C$-parity. The production processes can be initiated via the photon fragmentation or the…
We anticipate new features of quarkonium production in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies which differ from a straightforward extrapolation of results at CERN SPS energy. General arguments indicate that one may expect quarkonium…
We present the convolution integral for fermion pair production in the electroweak standard theory to order O(alpha) including also soft photon exponentiation. The result is complete in the sense that it includes initial and final state…
The total inclusive cross section for charged and neutral Higgs production in heavy-quark annihilation is presented through NNLO QCD. It is shown that, aside from an overall factor, the partonic cross section is independent of the…
We report the calculation of the process $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi J/\psi$ up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) at a center-of-mass (CM) energy of $\sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV. We employ an improved NRQCD factorization approach, decomposing 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…
Starting from the Feynman diagram representation of multiple scattering we consider the polarized $\chi_c$(1P)-charmonia production in antiproton-nucleus reactions close to the threshold ($p_{\rm lab}=5-7$ GeV/c). The rescattering and…
We investigate the pair production of S-wave heavy quarkonium at the LHC in the color-singlet mechanism (CSM) and estimate the contribution from the gluon fragmentation process in the color-octet mechanism (COM) for comparison. With the…
Considering the possibility to build an $e^+e^-$ collider at the energies around $Z$-boson resonance with a luminosity so high as ${\cal L} \propto 10^{34}cm^{-2}s^{-1}$ (even higher) and the abilities of a modern synthesis detector, we…
I review a few selected topics concerning heavy-quark fragmentation, taking particular care about bottom- and charm-quark production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and the inclusion of non-perturbative corrections. In particular, I discuss recent…
Inclusive $P$-wave charmonia production in hadronic collisions at high energies is discussed in the framework of non-relativistic QCD and $k_T$-factorization formalism. We present two consistent approches to merge the usual leading order…
In the paper, we discuss the possibility of observation of heavy quarkoniums via the processes involving flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC). More explicitly, we systematically calculate the production of heavy charmonium and…
It is shown that $BR(\chi_{b1}(1P)\rightarrow Z\rightarrow e^+e^-)\simeq 3.3\cdot 10^{-7}$, $BR(\chi_{b1}(2P)\rightarrow Z\rightarrow e^+e^-)\simeq 4.1\cdot 10^{-7}$ and $BR(\chi_{c1}(1P)\rightarrow Z\rightarrow e^+e^-)\simeq 10^{-8}$ that…
