At high energy, the photoproduction or electroproduction of Vector Mesons allow to prepare a beam of quark-antiquark pairs of a given flavor. At high momentum transfer, the study of the scattering of these pairs on a nucleon opens up an…
We formulate and prove a QCD factorization theorem for hard exclusive electroproduction of mesons in QCD. The proof is valid for the leading power in Q and all logarithms. This generalizes previous work on vector meson production in the…
A consistent description of exclusive photoproduction of mesons at high momentum transfer t relies on a few effective degrees of freedom which can be checked against Lattice calculation or more effective models of QCD.
We present an alternative approach for calculating helicity amplitudes for processes involving both massless and massive fermions. With this method one can easily obtain covariant expressions for the helicity amplitudes. The final…
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…
We construct a holographic model of heavy-light mesons by extending the AdS/QCD to incorporate the behavior of the heavy quark limit. In that limit, the QCD dynamics is governed by the light quark and the heavy quark simply plays the role…
Photoproduction in ultra-peripheral relativistic heavy-ion collisions displays many unique features, often involving quantum mechanical coherence and two-source interference between photon emission from the two ions. We review the recent…
Diffractive heavy vector meson photoproduction accompanied by proton dissociation is studied for arbitrary momentum transfer. The process is described by the non-forward BFKL equation, for which a complete analytical solution is found,…

The diffractive vector meson photoproduction with hadron dissociation in coherent hadron-hadron interactions at LHC energies is studied assuming that the color singlet $t$-channel exchange carries large momentum transfer. We estimate the…
The photon is a very interesting object for QCD studies since it has both a pointlike coupling to quarks, which yields a perturbative part of photon's wave function, and a non-perturbative coupling related to the magnetic susceptibility of…
