Production of Heavy Bound States at LEP and Beyond

Abstract

We describe some characteristic properties of $B_c$ mesons and discuss the production and the prospects of detection in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$, $\gamma \gamma$, and $\bar{p}p/pp$ collisions. The production mechanisms considered here also play an important role in charmonium and bottomonium production.
