Data for the differential cross sections for $\gamma^* p\to\rho^0 p$, $\gamma^* p \to \phi p$ and $\gamma^* p\to J/\psi p$, at all available values of $Q^2$, fit very well to a combination of soft pomeron, hard pomeron and $f_2$ exchange.

We analyze the light meson leptoproduction within the handbag approach. We show that effects determined by the transversity Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), $H_T$ and $\bar E_T$ are essential in the description of pseudoscalar and…
Electroproduction of two mesons well separated in rapidity allows the first feasible selective access to chiral-odd transversity GPDs provided one of these mesons is a transversely polarized vector meson rho_T.
