The production of quarkonium has been studied to provide information about the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) that is expected to be created in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. Lattice QCD predicts a suppression of quarkonium production in a hot and dense nuclear medium, due to the Debye screening of the potential between heavy quarks, relative to proton-proton collisions. The suppression...

Measurements of quarkonia and open heavy-flavor states at the LHC can often probe the available predictions. ATLAS has measured the production cross section of prompt and non-prompt J/Psi as well as Y(1,2,3 S), together with the inclusive production of b-flavored hadrons. The kinematical ranges covered by these analyses probes higher transverse momenta than previous studies. The results are...

One promising way to search for physics beyond the Standard Model is to look at decay modes that are extremely rare or forbidden, such as the decays of neutral charm and bottom quarks into opposite charge muon pairs. New Physics models can enhance the Standard Model predicted BR by several order of magnitudes. We will report the latest results of the search for D0->µµ and Bs(Bd)->µµ using...
