We review the potentialities offered by the study of backward exclusive processes in a new scaling regime, i.e. involving a large -timelike or spacelike- Q2 photon and a baryonic exchange in the t-channel. We recall the concept of…
We report on the handbag contribution to two-photon annihilation into pion and kaon pairs at large energy and momentum transfer. The underlying physics of the mechanism is outlined and characteristic features and predictions are presented.
We study the pair-production of heavy mesons in proton-antiproton annihilations within a perturbative QCD-motivated framework. In particular we investigate $p \bar{p} \rightarrow \overline{D^0} D^0$ within a double handbag approach, where a…
We propose to describe the process $ p \bar{p} \,\to\, \bar{D^0} D^0$ in a perturbative QCD motivated framework where a double-handbag hard process $ u d \bar u \bar d \to \bar{c} c$ factorizes from transition distribution amplitudes, which…

We review the descriptions of hard exclusive processes based on QCD factorization.
Virtual photons have proven to be very efficient probes of the hadronic structure, mostly through deep inelastic scattering and related processes. The advent of high luminosity lepton beams has allowed to enlarge the studied processes to…
The various factorization schemes for hard exclusive processes and the status of their applications is briefly reviewed.
In this talk it is reported on an analysis of hard exclusive leptoproduction of pions within the handbag approach. It is argued that recent measurements of this process performed by HERMES and CLAS clearly indicate the occurrence of strong…
I review recent progress in the theory of gamma gamma annihilation into meson or baryon pairs at large energy, and of the process gamma* gamma* -> pi0 at large photon virtuality.
Wide-angle photoproduction of pseudoscalar mesons is investigated under the assumption of dominance of the handbag mechanism considering both quark helicity flip and non-flip. The partonic subprocess, meson photoproduction off quarks, is…
{We investigate the photoproduction process $ p \gamma \rightarrow \Lambda_{c}^{+} \overline{D^{0}}$ within the handbag approach, which we assume to be the dominant mechanism at energies well above the production threshold and in the…
We first present an introduction to the theory of hard exclusive processes. We then illustrate this theory by a few selected examples. The last part is devoted to the most recent developments in the asymptotical energy limit.
