Perturbative QCD is applied to investigate the near threshold heavy quarkonium photoproduction at large momentum transfer. We take into account the contributions from the leading three-quark Fock states of the nucleon. The dominant…
New threshold measurements for $\gamma~p\to p~J/\psi \to p~(\mu^+\mu^-)$ by 007 and $\gamma^\ast~p\to p~J/\psi \to p~(e^+e^-)$ by CLAS12 allow us to extend the previous phenomenological determination of the J/\ensuremath{\psi}-proton…
Vector meson photoproduction is an important probe of nuclear structure. Light vector mesons are most sensitive to low$-x$ structure, as long as they are not too light for perturbative QCD calculations. The $\rho'$ is of interest as an…
We discuss the photoproduction of $\Upsilon$ and $J/\psi$ at high energy $\bar{p}p$, $pp$ and heavy ion colliders. We predict large rates in $\bar{p}p$ interactions at the Fermilab Tevatron %and in heavy-ion interactions at the CERN LHC.…
We investigate the reaction mechanism of the $\phi$-meson photoproduction off the proton target, i.e., $\gamma p\to\phi p$, up to $\sqrt{s}=2.8$ GeV. For this purpose, we employ an effective Lagrangian approach in the tree-level Born…

The cross sections of $\Upsilon $\ absorption by nucleons are calculated in meson-baryon exchange model using an effective hadronic Lagrangian. Calculated cross sections are found to peak near threshold followed by an increase which tends…
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…
The $\Upsilon(1S+2S+3S)\to e^{+}e^{-}$ cross section is measured at mid-rapidity ($y$) in $p+p$ collisions and in d$+Au$ collisions at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV with the STAR detector at RHIC. In $p+p$, the measured cross…

The photoproduction of the $J/\psi$ off the proton is believed to deepen our understanding of various physics issues. On the one hand, it is proposed to provide access to the origin of the proton mass, based on the QCD multipole expansion.…
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 analyze the photo-production of $\eta_{c,b}$ off a proton in the threshold region, in terms of C-odd gluonic correlations in the off-forward proton matrix element. Near threshold, the skewness is large leading to a production amplitude…
