Recent results on the QCD analysis of bound states of heavy $\bar{q}q$ quarks are reviewed, paying attention to what can be derived from the theory with a reasonable degree of rigour. We report a calculation of $\bar{b}c$ bound states; a…

We report new aspects of the recent theoretical progress in heavy quarkonium physics. (1) Contrary to wide beliefs, the gross structure of the bottomonium spectrum is described well by the non-relativistic boundstate theory based on…

We establish a connection between the quark model results and the $1/N_c$ expansion mass formula used in the description of baryon resonances. We show that a remarkable compatibility exists between the two methods.

We study the first-order relativistic correction to the associated production of $J/\psi$ with light hadrons at $B$ factory experiments at $\sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV, in the context of NRQCD factorization. We employ a strategy for NRQCD expansion…

In this paper, we compute the relativistic corrections to the fragmentation functions (FFs) of a heavy quark to $B_c$ and $B_c^*$ within the framework of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization. The non-singlet and singlet DGLAP…

We review the history of comparisons between bottom production measurements and QCD predictions. We challenge the existence of a `significant discrepancy', and argue that standard approaches to QCD calculations do a good job in describing…

Relativistic corrections to the pair $B_c$-meson production in $e^+e^-$-annihilation are calculated. We investigate a production of pair pseudoscalar, vector and pseudoscalar+vector $B_c$-mesons in the leading order perturbative quantum…

In this talk, I start with a brief introduction to Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and its applications to quarkonium physics. This theory has provided a consistent framework for the physics of quarkonia, in particular, the colour-octet Fock…

We demonstrate that the recently proposed soft gluon factorization (SGF) is equivalent to the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization for heavy quarkonium production or decay, which means that for any given process these two factorization…

We show that when the factorized cross section for heavy quarkonium production includes next-to-leading power (NLP) contributions associated with the production of the heavy quark pair at short distances, it naturally reproduces all high…

The $O(v^2)$ relativistic correction for inelastic $J/\psi$ photoproduction, in which heavy quark pairs are in the dominant Fock state of the quarkonium, is studied in the framework of NRQCD factorization. An assessment of its significance,…

We review theoretical calculations for top-quark production that include complete next-to-leading-order QCD corrections as well as higher-order soft-gluon corrections from threshold resummation. We discuss in detail the differences between…

I describe the NRQCD factorization approach to the inclusive production of heavy quarkonium, contrasting it with the color-singlet and color evaporation models. These approaches differ dramatically in their assumptions about the roles…

We investigate the relativistic corrections to the static potential, i.e. the O(1/m) potential and the O(1/m^2) velocity-dependent potentials, in SU(3) lattice gauge theory. They are important ingredients of potential nonrelativistic QCD…

We compare LHCb measurements of $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ transverse momentum distributions within jets with QCD calculations, which may be crucial in understanding the quarkonium production mechanism. Our theoretical calculations are based…

We analyse the possible existence of non-perturbative contributions in heavy $\bar Q Q$ systems ($\bar Q$ and $Q$ need not have the same flavour) which cannot be expressed in terms of local condensates. Starting from QCD, with well defined…

In this letter we address issues involved in quarkonium production near the boundaries of phase space. It is shown that higher-order non-perturbative contributions are enhanced in this kinematic region and lead to a breakdown of the…
