abstract
The dominant production mechanism for ${\bar b} c$ bound states in high energy processes is the production of a high energy ${\bar b}$ or $c$ quark, followed by its fragmentation into the ${\bar b} c$ state. We calculate the fragmentation functions for the production of the S-wave states $B_c$ and $B_c^*$ to leading order in the QCD coupling constant. The fragmentation probabilities for ${\bar b} \rightarrow B_c$ and ${\bar b} \rightarrow B_c^*$ are approximately $2.2 \times 10^{-4}$ and $3.1 \times 10^{-4}$, while those for $c \rightarrow B_c$ and $c \rightarrow B_c^*$ are smaller by almost two orders of magnitude.

All-charm tetraquarks at hadron colliders: A high-precision fragmentation perspective
TQ4Q2.0 supplies the first complete, uncertainty-quantified set of NRQCD-based fragmentation functions for all-heavy tetraquarks, including nonconstituent channels and public grids for jet-associated production.

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.

Nuclear modification of $B_c$ mesons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions based on a linear Boltzmann transport model
A linear Boltzmann transport model with Yukawa and string interactions reproduces the measured B_c nuclear modification in Pb+Pb collisions and predicts larger low-pT B_c R_AA in Au+Au at RHIC than at the LHC.
