Twenty years past its discovery, the top quark continues attracting great interest as experiments keep unveiling its properties. An overview of the latest measurements in the domain of top quark production, performed by the ATLAS and CMS…
During the past year many interesting results were published in heavy quark baryon spectroscopy. In addition to several refined measurements, new states were directly observed both in the charm and the bottom sector. In this paper we review…
The production of heavy quarks at large $\pt$ ($\pt\gg m$) in hadronic collisions is considered. The analysis is carried out in the framework of perturbative fragmentation functions, thereby allowing a resummation at the NLO level of final…
We discuss some different new aspects of $J/\psi$ meson production in exclusive, semi-exclusive and inclusive processes. We finish with a short discussion of double $J/\psi$ production. We point out some new results obtained recently by our…
Conventional perturbative QCD calculations on the production of a heavy quark ``$H$'' consist of two contrasting approaches: the usual QCD parton formalism uses the zero-mass approximation ($m_H=0$) once above threshold, and treats $H$ just…
The theoretical description of heavy quarkonium production at high-energy p-pbar and e-p colliders is reviewed. Predictions based on non-relativistic QCD factorisation are confronted with recent charmonium and bottomonium data from the…
I give an overview of recent theoretical results for exclusive Higgs-production cross sections, focusing in particular on processes where precise predictions will be relevant in the near future.
The production of four top quarks is a rare process in the Standard Model that provides unique opportunities and sensitivity to Standard Model observables including potential enhancement from many popular new physics extensions. This…
To understand the whole set of positive and null data on the Theta+(1530)-production, we suggest the hypothesis that multiquark hadrons are mainly generated from many-quark states, which emerge either as short-term hadron fluctuations, or…
Recent measurements of top-quark production at hadron colliders are reviewed. The inclusive top-quark pair production is determined at four centre-of-mass energies at Tevatron and LHC with experimental uncertainties that are close to the…
