Exclusive vector meson photoproduction, $pp\to ppV$ and $\bar pp\to\bar ppV$ occurs with significant rates at hadron colliders. The reaction can be used to study the gluon distribution of protons. Vector mesons may be produced with either…
This is a continuation of recent studies of $\Upsilon(nS)$ production at the LHC in pp collisions. Our previous studies were for rapidity y=-1 to 1 for the CMS detector, while the present study is for y=2.5 to 4.0 at the LHC.
Predictions are presented within the framework of the statistical hadronization model for integrated yields of bottomonia in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. We investigate the centrality dependence of $\Upsilon$ production and provide…

We estimate the relative probabilities of $\Psi'(2S)$ to $J/\Psi$ production at BNL-RHIC and $\Upsilon(nS)$ production at the LHC and Fermilab in p-p collisions, using our recent theory of mixed heavy quark hybrids, in which the $\Psi'(2S)$…

$J/\psi$- or $\Upsilon$-pair production at the LHC are promising processes to study the gluon transverse momentum distributions (TMDs) which remain very poorly known. In this article, we improve on previous results by including the TMD…

The rich experimental landscape of exclusive vector meson production at the high energy electron-proton collider HERA is reviewed, with emphasis on the transition from soft to hard diffraction and QCD interpretations.
The NA50 Collaboration has measured heavy-quarkonium production in p-A collisions at 450 GeV incident energy (sqrt(s) = 29.1 GeV). We report here results on the production of the Upsilon states and of high-mass Drell-Yan muon pairs (m > 6…

Using nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, we calculate the yields for $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ hadroproduction at $\sqrt{s}=$ 72 GeV and 115 GeV including the next-to-leading order QCD corrections. Both these…
