We discuss results on the diffractive production of the vector mesons rho, phi and omega reported by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at HERA. Unique to such studies is the experimental accessibility to the polarization of the vector mesons…

The elastic production of vector mesons at HERA is discussed from the theoretical point of view. We briefly review different models, their successes and shortcomings. Main emphasis is put on recent issues in perturbative QCD calculations.…
Cross sections for elastic and proton-dissociative photoproduction of J/psi mesons are measured with the H1 detector in positron-proton collisions at HERA. The data were collected at $ep$ centre-of-mass energies sqrt{s} approx 318 GeV and…
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…
It is demonstrated that the "soft pomeron" (together with a secondary reggeon) describing cross-sections of hadron-hadron collisions is fairly able to describe the energy dependence of cross-sections of exclusive (virtual) photoproduction…
New results on elastic electroproduction and proton-dissociative photoproduction at large t of rho, phi and J/psi mesons are presented. They are interpreted within perturbative QCD.
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…
The differential cross section $d\sigma/dt$ for elastic $\rho^0$ photoproduction, $\gamma p \rightarrow \rho^0 p (\rho^0 \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^-)$, has been measured in $ep$ interactions at HERA. The squared four-momentum exchanged at the…
New results on elastic (exclusive) production of vector mesons are presented, mainly on J/\psi and phi mesons with emphasis on an interpretation of the data within pQCD.
We develop a non-perturbative analysis of the electro-production of heavy vector mesons ($\phi$, $J/\Psi$) from threshold to high energy. We use the holographic construction with bulk confinement enforced through a soft wall. Using Witten…

Cross sections for elastic photoproduction of J/Psi and Upsilon mesons are presented. For J/Psi mesons the dependence on the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy W_gammap is analysed in an extended range with respect to previous measurements…
Results on diffractive photoproduction of psi(2S) mesons are presented using data collected between 1996 and 2000 with the H1 detector at the HERA ep collider. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 77 pb^(-1). The energy…
We perform an analysis of the elastic production of vector mesons with polarized photon beams at high energy in order to investigate the validity of a recently proposed dynamical mechanism based on the dominance of the f_1 trajectory at…
Elastic $\rho^0$ photoproduction has been measured using the ZEUS detector at HERA. Untagged photoproduction events from $ep$ interactions were used to measure the reaction $\gamma p \rightarrow \rho^0 p$ ($\rho^0 \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^-$)…
The first five years of operation of the multi-purpose experiments ZEUS and H1 at the electron-proton storage ring facility HERA have opened a new era in the study of vector-meson production in high-energy photon-proton interactions. The…
Inelastic and elastic (exclusive) cross section measurements of vector meson production at HERA are discussed.
We show that the lowest-order QCD calculation in a simple model of elastic vector-meson production does reproduce correctly the ratios of cross sections for rho, phi and J/psi (measured by H1 and ZEUS), both in photoproduction and in…
