Description
Production of heavy quarkonia is arguably one of the most fascinating subjects in strong interaction physics. It offers unique perspectives into the formation of QCD bound states. However, since the discovery of J/psi more than 40 years ago, theorists still have not been able to fully understand its production mechanism. In this talk, I will present recent new developments in understanding the production and polarization of heavy quarkonia at collider energies.
