This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

Since the discovery of the first charmed meson in 1976, many open-charm and open-bottom
hadrons were observed. In 2003 two narrow charm-strange states $ D_ {s0}^{\ast}(2317) …

A golden age for heavy-quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the
confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of …

After an introduction motivating the study of quarkonium production, we review the recent
developments in the phenomenology of quarkonium production in inclusive scatterings of …

CMS is a general purpose experiment, designed to study the physics of pp collisions at 14
TeV at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It currently involves more than 2000 physicists from …

We tabulate values of the radial Schrödinger wave function or its first nonvanishing
derivative at zero quark-antiquark separation, for cc, cb, and bb levels that lie below, or just …

We discuss the various mechanisms potentially at work in hadroproduction of heavy
quarkonia in the light of computations of higher-order QCD corrections both in the colour …

We calculate the spectrum of the charm-beauty mesons using the relativized quark model.
Using the wave functions from this model we compute the radiative widths of excited cb¯ …

The form factors parametrizing the B c semileptonic matrix elements can be related to a few
invariant functions if the decoupling of the spin of the heavy quarks in B c and in the mesons …

In the framework of three-point QCD sum rules, the form factors for the semileptonic decays
of B c+→ B s (B s∗) l+ ν l are calculated with account for the Coulomb-like αs/v-corrections in …
