We study $J/psi$ and $eta_c$ inclusive production in $Upsilon$ decay within the framework of nonrelativistic-QCD (NRQCD) factorization. In the latter case, for which no experimental data exist so far, we also include the $h_c$ feed-down contribution. We calculate the short distance coefficients completely through $mathcal{O}(alpha_s^5)$. The NRQCD predictions for the branching fraction $mathcal{B}(Upsilonto J/psi+X)$ via direct production, evaluated with different sets of long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs), all agree with the experimental data in a reasonable range of renormalization scale. Using $eta_c$ and $h_c$ LDMEs obtained from $J/psi$ and $chi_c$ ones via heavy-quark spin symmetry, we find that the bulk of $mathcal{B}(Upsilontoeta_c+X)$ via prompt production arises from the $cbar{c}({}^3!S_1^{[8]})$ Fock state. The experimental study of this decay process would, therefore, provide a particularly clean probe of the color octet mechanism of heavy-quarkonium production.

Inclusive $chi_{cJ}$ $(J=0,1,2)$ production from $Upsilon(1S)$ decay is studied within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization at leading order in $v_Q^2$, which includes the contributions of $bbar{b}({}^3S_1^{[1]})to cbar{c}(^3P_J ^{[1]})+X$ and $bbar{b}({}^3S_1^{[1]})to cbar{c}(^3S_1^{[8]})+X$. For both channels, the short-distance coefficients are calculated through ${cal O}(alpha_s^5)$, which is next-to-leading order for the second one. By fitting to the measured $Upsilon(1S)$ branching fractions to $chi_{c1}$ and $chi_{c2}$, we obtain the color-octet long-distance matrix element (LDME) $langlemathcal{O}^{chi_{c0}}({}^3S_1^{[8]})rangle =(4.04pm0.47_{-0.34}^{+0.67})times10^{-3}$ GeV$^3$, where the first error is experimental and the second one due to the renormalization scale dependence, if we use as input $langlemathcal{O}^{chi_{c0}}({}^3P_0^{[1]})rangle=0.107$ GeV$^5$ as obtained via potential-model analysis. Previous LDME sets, extracted from data of prompt $chi_{cJ}$ hadroproduction, yield theoretical predictions that systematically undershoot or mildly overshoot the experimental values of $mathcal{B}(Upsilonto chi_{cJ}+X)$.
Within the framework of the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD), we make a systematical study of the yields and polarizations of $J/psi$ and $Upsilon$ via $gamma gamma to J/psi(Upsilon)+gamma+X$ in photon-photon collisions at the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), up to $mathcal O(alpha^{3}alpha_s)$. We find that this process at CEPC is quite clean, namely the direct photoproduction absolutely dominate over the single- and double- resolved processes, at least 2 orders of magnitude larger. It is found that the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections will significantly reduce the results due to that the virtual corrections to $^3S_1^1$ is large and negative. For $J/psi$, as $p_t$ increases, the color octet (CO) processes will provide increasingly important contributions to the total NLO results. Moreover the inclusion of CO contributions will dramatically change the polarizations of $J/psi$ from toally transverse to longitudinal, which can be regarded as a distinct signal for the CO mechanism. However, for the case of $Upsilon$, the effects of the CO processes are negligible, both for yields and polarizations. For $J/psi$, the dependence of the yields on the value of the renormalization scale $mu_r$ is moderate, while significant for the polarization. The impact of the variation of $mu_{lambda}$ is found to be relatively slight. As for the case of $Upsilon$, the uncertainties of $mu_{r}$ and $mu_{lambda}$ just bring about negligible effects. The future measurements on this semi-inclusive photoproductions of $J/psi(Upsilon)+gamma+X$, especially on the polarization parameters of $J/psi$, will be a good laboratory for the study of heavy quarkonium production mechanism and helpful to clarify the problems of the $J/psi$ polarization puzzle.
We propose and study the inclusive production of a forward $J/psi$ and a very backward jet at the LHC as an observable to reveal high-energy resummation effects `a la BFKL. Our different predictions are based on the various existing mechanisms to des cribe the production of the $J/psi$, namely, NRQCD singlet and octet contributions, and the color evaporation model.

We study sub-threshold heavy quarkonium ($J/psi$ and $Upsilon$) photo-productions in $gamma A$ collisions as an independent test of the universality of the nucleon-nucleon short range correlation (SRC) in nuclear scattering processes. Just below the $gamma p$ threshold, the cross section is dominated by the mean field contribution of nucleons inside the nucleus. The SRC contributions start to dominate at lower photon energies, depending on the fraction of the SRC pairs in the target nucleus. We give an estimate of the cross sections in the sub-threshold region both for $J/psi$ and $Upsilon$. This may be helpful for future measurements at JLab as well as at the Electron-Ion Collider in the U.S., and especially in China.
For $J/psi$ pair production at hadron colliders, we present the full next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations with the color-singlet channel in nonrelativistic QCD. We find that the NLO result can reasonably well describe the LHCb measured cross sect ion, but exhibits very different behaviors from the CMS data in the transverse momentum distribution and mass distribution of $J/psi$ pair. Moreover, by adding contributions of gluon fragmentation and quark fragmentation, which occur at even higher order in $alpha_s$, it is still unable to reduce the big differences. In particular, the observed flat distribution in the large invariant mass region is hard to explain. New processes or mechanisms are needed to understand the CMS data for $J/psi$ pair production.
