In a e+e- B factory charmonium states can be produced through different mechanisms, as in e+e- annihilation, with double charmonium production, and in B-meson decays.
Prompt production of J/psi or psi(2S) in association with a second charmonium state has been observed by both the BaBar and Belle experiments in e+e- annihilation at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. These processes...

Precise measurement of S-wave quarkonium cross-sections and polarizations performed at LHC helped clarifying the experimental scenario in the field of quarkonium production. From the theoretical point of view, the most promising framework to explain such phenomena has been, for almost 20 years, NRQCD. However, the interpretation of the latest results in this framework is not straight-forward,...

We present detailed precision measurements of the prompt and
non-prompt differential production cross sections for the J/psi,
psi2s, chi_c and X(3872) charmonium states at sqrt(s)=8 TeV, covering J/psi and psi2s --> mumu, psi2s-->J/psi pipi and chi_c. The results are compared with leading theoretical models.
