Exclusive production of B_c mesons in e^+e^- colliders
read the original abstract
Within the framework of the perturbative QCD approach, we calculate the time-like $B_cB_c(B_c^*)$ form factors $F(Q^2)$ and $A_2(Q^2)$. We include relativistic corrections and QCD corrections, either of which can give about $20\%$ correction to the leading-order contribution, but there are cancellation effects between them. We calculate the cross sections of the $e^+e^-\to B_c^-B_c^+(B_c^{*+})$ processes. The cross sections are enhanced at the $Z$ pole to be $\sigma^{PP}(Q=m_Z) \sim 1.3\times10^{-5}\text{pb}$ and $\sigma^{PV}(Q=m_Z) \sim 2.5\times10^{-5}\text{pb}$, which are still too small to be detected by proposed $e^+e^-$ colliders such as the Circular Electron Positron Collider.

Resolved photoproduction of the $B_c$ meson in electron-proton collisions
Direct gamma-gluon fusion dominates B_c photoproduction in ep collisions, with resolved gluon-gluon contributing O(10%) at low p_T across HERA to EIC energies.
