The diffractive process $\gamma^*(Q^2) p\to V+X$ (where $V= \rho^0, \omega , \phi$ are the vector mesons, consisted of light quarks, $X$ represents the hadrons to that a proton dissociates) is studied. We consider the region of large…

We derive helicity amplitudes for diffractive leptoproduction of the S and D wave states of vector mesons. We predict a dramatically different spin dependence for production of the S and D wave vector mesons. We find very small…
We study coherent and incoherent diffractive hadron production in high energy quarkonium--heavy nucleus collisions as a probe of the gluon saturation regime of QCD. Taking this process as a model for pA collisions, we argue that the…
Diffractive heavy vector meson photoproduction accompanied by proton dissociation is studied for arbitrary momentum transfer. The process is described by the non-forward BFKL equation, for which a complete analytical solution is found,…
In this investigation we present a detailed study of $\partial F_2/\partial \ln Q^2$ which is supported by a coupled analysis of $J/\Psi$ photo and DIS production. Both channels are directly proportional to $xG(x,Q^2)$, and as such serve as…
We investigate the energy behavior of the diffraction cone in the exclusive vector meson production in diffractive DIS within the k_t-factorization approach. In our calculations, we make full use of fits to the unintegrated gluon structure…
Diffractive meson production at HERA offers interesting possibilities to investigate diffractive processes and thus to learn something about the properties of the pomeron. The most succesful phenomenological description of the pomeron so…

Leading neutron production on protons is known to be subject to strong absorptive corrections, which have been under debate for a long time. On nuclear targets these corrections are significantly enhanced and push the partial cross sections…
