Abstract

We argue that the t-dependence of the two-gluon form factor of the nucleon should be given by Γ(t)=(1t/m2g2)2\Gamma(t)=(1-t/m_{2g}^2)^{-2} with m2g21GeV2m_{2g}^2\approx 1 GeV^2. We demonstrate that this form provides a good description of the t-dependence of the cross section of the elastic photoproduction of J/ψJ/\psi-mesons between the threshold region of Eγ=11GeVE_{\gamma}=11 GeV (Cornell), Eγ=19GeVE_{\gamma}=19 GeV (SLAC) and Eγ=100GeVE_{\gamma}=100 GeV (FNAL) including the strong energy dependence of the t-slope. It is also well matched with the recent HERA data. The same assumption explains also the t-dependence of ϕ\phi-meson electroproduction near threshold at W=2.3GeV,Q2=1.0GeV2W=2.3 GeV, Q^2=1.0 GeV^2.
