A new mechanism for heavy quarkonium production in high-energy collisions called the s-channel cut was proposed in 2005 by Lansberg, Cudell, and Kalinovsky. We identify this mechanism physically as the production of a heavy quark and anti-quark that are on-shell followed by their rescattering to produce heavy quarkonium. We point out that in the NRQCD factorization formalism this rescattering mechanism is a contribution to the color-singlet model term at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbation theory. Its leading contribution to the production rate can be calculated without introducing any additional phenomenological parameters. We calculate the charm-pair rescattering (or s-channel cut) contribution to the production of J/psi at the Tevatron and compare it to estimates by Lansberg et al. using phenomenological models. This contribution competes with the leading-order term in the color-singlet model at large transverse momentum but is significantly smaller than the next-to-leading-order term. We conclude that charm-pair rescattering is not a dominant mechanism for charmonium production in high-energy collisions.

Quarkonium production in high-energy proton (deuteron)-nucleus collisions is investigated in the color glass condensate framework. We employ the color evaporation model assuming that the quark pair produced from dense small-x gluons in the nuclear ta
rget bounds into a quarkonium outside the target. The unintegrated gluon distribution at small Bjorken x in the nuclear target is treated with the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with running coupling corrections. For the gluons in the proton, we examine two possible descriptions, unintegrated gluon distribution and ordinary collinear gluon distribution. We present the transverse momentum spectrum and nuclear modification factor for J/psi production at RHIC and LHC energies, and those for Upsilon(1S) at LHC energy, and discuss the nuclear modification factor and the momentum broadening by changing the rapidity and the initial saturation scale.
A short historical review is made of charged particle production at high energy proton synchrotrons and at pp and {p}p colliders. The review concerns mainly low p_t processes, including diffraction processes, and fragmentation of nuclei in nucleus-nu
cleus collisions. A short recollection is made of the first studies of high p_t processes. Conclusions and perspectives follow.
Event generators are an indispensable tool for the preparation and analysis of particle-physics experiments. In this contribution, physics principles underlying the construction of such computer programs are discussed. Results, within and beyond the
Standard Model of particle physics, obtained with a new event generator are presented. This generator is capable to describe signal processes for exotic physics and their backgrounds at electron-positron and proton-(anti)proton colliders.
It is shown that hadron abundances in high energy e+e-, pp and p{bar p} collisions, calculated by assuming that particles originate in hadron gas fireballs at thermal and partial chemical equilibrium, are in very good agreement with the data. The fre
eze-out temperature of the hadron gas fireballs turns out to be nearly constant over a large center of mass energy range and not dependent on the initial colliding system. The only deviation from chemical equilibrium resides in the incomplete strangeness phase space saturation. Preliminary results of an analysis of hadron abundances in S+S and S+Ag heavy ion collisions are presented.
We perform numerical comparison of the fragmentation mechanism of charmonium production ($g,gto c,bar{c}$ followed by $ctopsi,c$) with the full leading order calculation ($g,gtopsi,c,bar{c}$ at ${O} (alpha_s^4)$). We conclude that the non-fragmentati
on contributions remain important up to $J/psi$ transverse momenta about as large as 50 GeV, thus making questionable the applicability of the fragmentation approximation at smaller transverse momenta.
