We study light vector meson photoproduction at small $x$ on the basis of the generalized parton distribution (GPD). Our results on the cross section and spin density matrix elements (SDME) are in fair agreement with DESY experiments

New developments in the theory and phenomenology of high-energy scattering and diffraction that were presented and discussed at DIS2000 are reviewed.

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…

The QCD-based generalized vector dominance-color-dipole picture (GVD-CDP) provides a coherent picture of low-x DIS, deeply virtual Compton scattering and light as wel as heavy vector-meson production.
