The assumption that vector mesons dominate the interactions of hadrons with electromagnetism (vector-meson dominance - VMD) provides an important phenomenological concept. On the other hand, a clear microscopic derivation is still missing…
The dominant mechanism for the central exclusive production of vector meson in $p p$ and $p \bar p$ collisions is the $\gamma$ $I P$ fusion. As a building block for the pp reaction, the amplitude for photoproduction $ \gamma p \to V p $ is…

High-statistics total cross sections for the vector meson photoproduction at the threshold: $\gamma p\to\omega p$ (from A2 at MAMI, ELPH, and CBELSA/TAPS), $\gamma p\to \phi p$ (from CLAS and LEPS), and $\gamma p\to J/\psi p$ (from GlueX)…
We discuss the consistency of the traditional vector meson dominance (VMD) model for photons coupling to matter, with the vanishing of vector meson-meson and meson-photon mixing self-energies at q^2=0. This vanishing of vector mixing has…
The vector manifestation (VM) is a new pattern for realizing the chiral symmetry in QCD. In the VM, the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of pion at the critical point, in contrast with the restoration based on the linear…

We summarize main mechanisms to realize the vector manifestation (VM), in which the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of pion, at the critical temperature in hot QCD within the framework of the model based on the hidden local…
A reaction model for $\gamma + p \to V + p$, $V=\rho^0, \phi, J/\psi, \Upsilon$, which exposes the quark-antiquark content of the photon in making the transition $\gamma\to {q} \bar{q} + \mathbb P \to V$, where ${q}$ depends on $V$, and…
We demonstrate that the explicit mass dependence of the exponent in the power--like energy behavior of the vector--meson production cross-section in the processes of virtual photon interactions with a proton gamma^*p --> Vp obtained in the…
We present our calculations of the electromagnetic form factor of pions. We explore the properties of pion form factor at momentum transfer larger than previous studies by including more combinations of source and sink momenta and using…
We apply a modified vector meson dominance (VMD) model to analyze the electromagnetic form factors of the $\Lambda_c$ hyperon in the time-like reaction $e^+e^-\rightarrow \Lambda_c^+ \bar{\Lambda}_c^-$. In the model, we include the…
The hypothesis is scrutinized that the weak interaction of hadronic systems at low energies is dominated by the coupling of the pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons to the weak gauge bosons. The strength of the weak coupling of the…
We present an extension to the Pythia Monte Carlo event generator that enables simulations of collisions between a generic hadron beam on a nuclear target with energy variation in event-by-event basis. This builds upon Pythia's module for…
The process of a light neutral vector meson electroproduction is studied in the framework of QCD factorization in which the amplitude factorizes in a convolution of the nonperturbative meson distribution amplitude and the generalized parton…
It is shown that the recent results on photoproduction of vector mesons can be naturally explained by using a mass dependent pomeron trajectory.

Including destructively interfering off-diagonal transitions of diffraction-dissociation type, we arrive at a formulation of GVD for exclusive vector-meson production in terms of a continuous spectral representation of dipole form. The…
We calculate distributions of different vector mesons in purely exclusive ($p p \to p p V$) and semi-exclusive ($p p \to p X V$) processes with electromagnetic dissociation of a proton. The cross section for the electromagnetic dissociation…
