Fully - heavy tetraquark production by ?? interactions in hadronic collisions at the LHC

Heavy Quark Production in Hadronic Collisions

We review the physics of heavy quark and quarkonium production in high energy hadronic collisions. We discuss the status of the theoretical calculations and compare the current results with the most recent measurements from the Tevatron collider experiments. CERN-TH/95-191 July 1995 To appear in the Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Heavy Flavour Physics, Pisa, Italy, June 6-10,...

Secondary Charmonium Production in Heavy Ion Collisions at LHC Energy

We consider the production of charmonium by DD̄ annihilation during the mixed and hadronic phase of a Pb-Pb collision at LHC energy. The calculations for secondary J/ψ and ψ production are performed within a kinetic model taking into account the spacetime evolution of a longitudinally and transversely expanding medium. It is shown that the yield of secondary J/ψ mesons depends strongly on the J/...

Inclusive Heavy-quarkonium Production in Hadronic Collisions∗

We discuss the theory of inclusive production of heavy quarkonium, the comparison between theory and experiment, and the expected nuclear effects in cold nuclear targets. We also present predictions, based on Nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD), for quarkonium production cross sections in the LHC energy range. We find that nuclear effects in the production cross sections are largely independent of the ...

Heavy quarkonium production in hadronic collisions

Different theoretical models which attempt to describe hadronic production of heavy quarkonia are reviewed. Firstly, we consider the Color Singlet Model and point out the large discrepancies between the theoretical predictions and the results from the Tevatron detectors. Then some other models are introduced, quickly discussed and confronted with experimental results. Finally, we suggest possib...
