There are different approaches for diffractive photoproduction of charmonia. Recently, a new approach is proposed, in which charm quarks are taken as heavy quarks and the nonperturbative effect related to charmonia can be handled with…
Data for D*(2010) meson electroproduction in the range 10 < Q2 < 1350 GeV^2 has recently been presented by the ZEUS collaboration at HERA. We use these results together with previously published data for Q2 > 1 GeV^2 to test whether one can…
