We study the dependence on photon virtuality $Q^2$ for the semihard quasi--elastic photoproduction of neutral vector mesons on a quark, gluon or real photon (at $s\gg p_{\bot}^2, Q^2; p_{\bot}^2 \gg \mu^2 \approx (0.3$ GeV)$^2$). To this…

The photoproduction of doubly heavy baryon, $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bc}$ and $\Xi_{bb}$, is predicted within the nonrelativistic QCD at the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC). The $\Xi_{QQ'}$ production via the photon-gluon fusing channel…
We calculate exclusive production of a longitudinally polarized heavy vector meson at next-to-leading order in the dipole picture. The large quark mass allows us to separately include both the first QCD correction proportional to the…

We present a non-perturbative QCD calculation of high-energy diffractive photo- and leptoproduction of vector mesons $\rho$, $\rho'$ and $\rho''$ on a nucleon. The initial photon splits up in a $q\bar{q}$-dipole and transforms into a vector…
We calculate squared helicity amplitudes for non-diagonal and mixed squark pair production at hadron colliders, taking into account not only loop-induced QCD diagrams, but also previously unconsidered electroweak channels, which turn out to…
The exclusive photoproduction of a pair of light mesons is studied within the framework of collinear factorisation. The amplitude factorises into a process-dependent perturbatively calculable hard part, a generalised parton distribution…
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 amplitude for the forward electroproduction of two light vector mesons can be written completely within perturbative QCD in the Regge limit with next-to-leading accuracy, thus providing the first example of a physical application of the…
Protons and antiprotons at collider energies are a source of high energy Weizsaecker--Williams photons. This opens up a possibility to study at the LHC exclusive photoproduction of heavy vector mesons at energies much larger than possible…
The hard exclusive electroproduction of $\pi^0,\eta,\eta'$ mesons by the longitudinal photons is considered. We calculate the ratios of the $\pi^0 : \eta : \eta'$ yields for the electroproduction processes off nucleons and deuterons based…
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…
We argue that coherent production of hard dijets by linearly polarized real photons can provide direct evidence for chirality violation in hard processes, the first measurement of the magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate and the…
We study the spin-dependent cross-sections of vector meson photoproduction for longitudinally and transversely polarized photons within a QCD- model. The dependence of the $\sigma_T/\sigma_L$ ratio on the photon virtuality and on the meson…
The self-couplings of the electroweak gauge bosons are probed at hadron colliders through the production of a massive gauge boson and a photon. To extend the theoretical description of this type of final states towards…
The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass Q and finite transverse momentum Q_T is described in perturbative QCD by the same partonic subprocesses as prompt photon production. We demonstrate that, like prompt photon production, lepton…
