Description
I will review the Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD) factorization formalism for the calculation of quarkonia production and decays. I will discuss the current status of quarkonium production in pp collision, highlighting successes and pointing out outstanding problems. I will then discuss a theoretical approach to deriving transport equations for quarkonia in the quark-gluon plasma using open quantum systems and effective field theory.
