We have studied the production of the 1S_0 charmonium state, eta_c, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the framework of Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD) using heavy-quark symmetry. We find that NRQCD predicts a large…

In this talk I show the results of a fit of the NRQCD matrix elements to the CDF data for direct $J/\psi$ production, by including the radiative corrections to the colour-singlet channel and the effect of the $k_T$-smearing. Furthermore I…
I shall review the present status of Tevatron QCD studies, focusing on the production of jets, vector bosons, photons and heavy quarks. In general there is good agreement between the results of current calculational tools and the…
Due to the heavy-quark symmetry of Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD), the cross-section for the production of $\eta_c$ can be predicted. This NRQCD prediction when confronted with data from the LHCb is seen to fail miserably.…
The Fermilab Tevatron is currently the only collider capable of producing and studying top quarks. The dominant mechanism for top quark production at the Tevatron is t-tbar production via the strong interaction. The precise measurement of…

We predict the differential cross sections for production of the X(3872) at the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider from both prompt QCD mechanisms and from decays of b hadrons. The prompt cross section is calculated using the NRQCD…

The production of the ${}^1P_1$ charmonium state, $h_c$, at large-$p_T$ at the Tevatron is considered. The colour-octet contributions to this state are found to be dominant and give a reasonably large rate for the production of $h_c$. This…
