In the paper, we derive the next-to-leading order (NLO) fragmentation function for a heavy quark, either charm or bottom, into a heavy quarkonium $J/Psi$ or $Upsilon$. The ultra-violet divergences in the real corrections are removed through the operator renormalization, which is performed under the modified minimal subtraction scheme. We then obtain the NLO fragmentation function at an initial factorization scale, e.g. $mu_{F}=3 m_c$ for $cto J/Psi$ and $mu_{F}=3m_b$ for $bto Upsilon$, which can be evolved to any scale via the use of Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi equation. As an initial application of those fragmentation functions, we study the $J/Psi$ ($Upsilon$) production at a high luminosity $e^+e^-$ collider which runs at the energy around the $Z$ pole and could be a suitable platform for testing the fragmentation function.

An MC@NLO for heavy quarks in photoproduction is presented. This is the first lepton-hadron process to be included into MC@NLO. To construct an MC@NLO process dependent so called MC-subtraction terms need to be calculated. The resulting calculation is compared to a fixed order NLO calculation and the HERWIG event generator and is shown to perform well.
Within the framework of nonrelativistic quark-antiquark Cornell potential model formalism, we study the annihilation of heavy quarkonia. We determine their annihilation widths resulting into $gammagamma$, $gg$, $3gamma$, $3g$ and $gamma gg$ and compare our findings with the available theoretical results and experimental data. We also provide the charge radii and absolute square of radial Schrodinger wave function at zero quark-antiquark separation.
We investigate the reaction gamma+p -> V+p, with V denoting a Phi or a J/Psi meson, within the scope of perturbative QCD, treating the proton as a quark-diquark system. Our predictions extrapolate the existing forward differential cross-section data into the few-GeV momentum-transfer region. In case of the J/Psi reasonable results are only obtained by properly taking into account its mass in the perturbative calculation of the hard-scattering amplitude.
At the chiral restoration/deconfinement transition, most hadrons undergo a Mott transition from being bound states in the confined phase to resonances in the deconfined phase. We investigate the consequences of this qualitative change in the hadron spectrum on final state interactions of charmonium in hot and dense matter, and show that the Mott effect for D-mesons leads to a critical enhancement of the J/$psi$ dissociation rate. Anomalous J/psi suppression in the NA50 experiment is discussed as well as the role of the Mott effect for the heavy flavor kinetics in future experiments at the LHC. The status of our calculations of heavy quarkonium dissociation cross sections due to quark and gluon impact is reviewed, and estimates for in-medium effects due to the lowering of the ionisation threshold are given.
Theoretical predictions for the decay width of Standard Model Higgs boson into bottom quarks and tau-leptons, in the case when M_H< 2M_W, are briefly reviewed. The effects of higher order perturbative QCD (up to alpha_s^4-level) and QED corrections are considered. The uncertainties of the decay width of Higgs boson into bb and tau+tau- are discussed.
