A model based on Reggeon field theory is used for the description of the photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons ($\rho^0, \omega, \phi, J /\psi$) on the proton. Its main feature is the dependence of the Pomeron intercept on the…
We discuss the photoproduction processes of light vector mesons ($\rho$, $\omega$, and $\phi$) from the nucleon near threshold. We first develop a simple model based on meson exchanges which is modified by the nucleon pole terms. We then…
We study tensor meson photoproduction outside of the resonance region, at beam energies of few GeVs. We build a model based on Regge theory that includes the leading vector and axial exchanges. We consider two determinations of the unknown…
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab aims to study the light meson spectrum with an emphasis on the search for hybrid mesons. To this end, a linearly-polarized $9\,$GeV photon beam impinges on a hydrogen target contained within a detector…
We provide an analysis of vector meson photoproduction in the channel of the vector meson decaying into a pseudoscalar meson plus a photon, i.e. $V\to P\gamma$. It is shown that non-trivial kinematic correlations arise from the measurement…
An analysis of light vector meson photoproduction at small Bjorken $x \leq 0.2$ is done on the basis of the generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Our results on the cross section and spin density matrix elements (SDME) are in good…
We investigate the photoproduction of the tensor meson $f_2(1270)$ on the proton within a Regge-based framework, focusing on the reaction $\gamma p \to p f_2(1270)$ in the few-GeV energy region. The production mechanism is modeled through…
Understanding the spin dynamics of strong interactions from the nonperturbative to the perturbative regime remains a challenge. Regge pole theory offers a phenomenological framework, but existing models fail to simultaneously describe cross…
Recent $HERA$ data on the photoproduction of vector mesons are analysed within a "soft", dipole pomeron model. We argued that the data on $\sigma^{\gamma\rightarrow J/\psi}_{el}$ is consistent with a soft pomeron, the apparent rapid…
We consider photoproduction of $\omega$ mesons off complex nuclei to study interactions of transversely and longitudinally polarized vector mesons with nucleons. Whereas the total cross section for interactions of the transversely polarized…
The processes of exclusive photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons $\rho^0$(770), $\phi$(1020) and $J/\psi$(3096) at collision energies $30 GeV<W<300 GeV$ and transferred momenta squared $0<-t<2 GeV^2$ are considered in the framework…
Exclusive photoproduction of all vector mesons by real and virtual photons is considered in the Soft Dipole Pomeron model. It is emphasized that being the Pomeron in this model a double Regge pole with intercept equal to one, we are led to…
In this paper, we study total and differential observables of electro- and photoproduction of light $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons as functions of the center-of-mass energy of the $\gamma p$ collision and momentum transfer squared…
We have evaluated pseudoscalar and scalar neutral pion photoproduction in $\vec{\gamma}p\to\pi^0p$ and $\vec{\gamma}p\to a_0^0p$ above the resonance region and within Regge phenomenology. Our fit, including GlueX $\Sigma$ pseudoscalar…
At forward angles, the cross-sections of photoproduction of vector mesons ($\rho$, $\omega$, and $\phi$) are well accounted for by the exchange of the Pomeron at high energies, while contributions of $t$ channel exchange of Reggeons are…
We study the spin-dependent cross-sections of vector meson photoproduction for longitudinally and transversely polarized photons within a QCD- model. The dependence of the $\sigma_T/\sigma_L$ ratio on the photon virtuality and on the meson…
We propose a simple meson-exchange model of the photoproduction of $\rho$- and $\omega$-mesons off protons near threshold ($E_\gamma$ less than 2 GeV). This model provides a good description of the available data and implies a large…
A model based on a dipole Pomeron framework for vector meson exclusive photoproduction by real and virtual photons shows very good agreement with the experimental data. The model does not violate unitarity constrains and describes in a…
