Abstract

I present the first implementation in MadGraph5aMC@NLO for bound-state production, including quarkonium, leptonium, and B(c) mesons within Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (NRQCD) and Non-Relativistic Quantum Electro-Dynamics (NRQED). In these proceedings, I focus on the extension of MadGraph5aMC@NLO to quarkonium states and describe the capabilities of the new framework for inclusive and associated S-wave quarkonium production in a wide variety of experimental environments at Leading Order (LO). These developments provide the community with a unified, automated, and efficient framework for bound-state production in QED and QCD, and establish a solid foundation for our future Next-to-Leading-Order (NLO) extension.
