The reason why some data on the production of $\psi$- and $\Upsilon$-states disagree with QCD predictions, occasionally by well over one order of magnitude, is that the traditional method for performing the perturbative calculation of the…
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…
The polarization of quarkonium states produced in hadron collisions exhibits strong non-perturbative effects - for example, at small transverse momentum $p_t$ charmonia appear unpolarized, in sharp contradiction to the predictions of…
