We discuss production of charm quarks and mesons as well as nonphotonic electrons in $pp$ scattering at RHIC. The distributions in rapidity and transverse momentum of charm and bottom quarks/antiquarks are calculated in the…
We propose a two-component model involving the parton fusion mechanism and recombination of a $ud$ valence diquark with a sea $c$-quark of the incident proton to describe $\Lambda_c^+$ inclusive production in $pp$ collisions. We also study…
We study the unpolarised and polarised hadro-production of charmonium in non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) at low transverse momentum, including sufficiently higher orders in the relative velocity, $v$, so as to study the ratio of $\chi_{c1}$…
We consider two high-frequency thermal processes in uniformly heated harmonic crystals relaxing towards equilibrium: (i) equilibration of kinetic and potential energies and (ii) redistribution of energy among spatial directions. Equation…
Are heavy quarks produced thermally or only by hard parton collisions? What is the probability that a produced heavy quark or antiquark is observed in a given resonance?
The density operator for a quantum system in thermal equilibrium with its environment depends on Planck's constant, as well as the temperature. At high temperatures, the Weyl representation, that is, the thermal Wigner function, becomes…
The charmonium potential at non-zero temperature has been studied using gauge configurations with anisotropic lattices and 2+1 dynamical flavors of light sea quarks. We use the HAL QCD time-dependent method developed for the study of…
The relic abundance of Dark Matter (DM) produced via thermal freeze-in is sensitive to the thermal history during and after cosmic reheating. In minimal models, this opens up the possibility to make predictions for collider observables by…
We consider the production of open charm in heavy ion collisions in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate. In the central rapidity region at RHIC, for the charm quark yield we expect N(coll) (number of collisions) scaling in the…
We summarize the theoretical description of charmonium and bottonium production in hadronic collisions and compare it to the available data from hadron-nucleon interactions. With the parameters of the theory established by these data, we…
In the present paper we address the interaction of pairs of charmed mesons with hidden charm in a finite box. We use the interaction from a recent model based on heavy quark spin symmetry that predicts molecules of hidden charm in the…
We theoretically analyze the efficiency of a protocol for creating mesoscopic superpositions of ion chains, described in [Phys. Rev. A 84, 063821 (2011)], as a function of the temperature of the crystal. The protocol makes use of…
We study charm particle production in hadron-hadron collisions. After calculating perturbatively the charm quark differential cross section, we study the hadronization mechanisms. It is shown that recombination is the key to understand the…
The quarkonium plus photon production in coherent hadron-hadron interactions at the LHC is studied using the non-relativistic QCD factorization formalism. We investigate a set of kinematic distributions and compute the total cross sections…
Calculations of heavy quark and charmonium hadroproduction are presented in the k_t-factorization approach. The resulting differential cross sections are compared to experimental values and NLO collinear predictions. The application of the…
New evaluation of the relativistic effects in the double production of $S$-wave charmonium states is performed on the basis of perturbative QCD and the relativistic quark model. The main improvement consists in the exact account of…
We calculate thermal production of u, d, s, c and b quarks in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. The following processes are taken into account: thermal gluon decay (g to ibar i), gluon fusion (g g to ibar i), and quark-antiquark…
In the framework of the perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics factorization, the cross section of the heavy meson production via the combination of a heavy quark with a light one can be factorized to be the convolution of the combination…
We highlight issues which are often underestimated in the experimental analyses on quarkonium polarization: the relation between the parameters of the angular distributions and the angular momentum composition of the quarkonium, the…
Recent years, multiphoton pair production has become one of the most promising approaches to investigate the Schwinger effect. However, the production and evolution of chirality, a key topic in the study of this effect, has not been…
