We systematically study exclusive diffractive (photo) production of vector mesons ($J/\psi$, $\psi(2s)$, $\phi$ and $\rho$) off protons in high-energy collisions and investigate whether the production is a sensitive probe of gluon…

In this paper, we study total and differential observables of electro- and photoproduction of light $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons as functions of the center-of-mass energy of the $\gamma p$ collision and momentum transfer squared…
Exclusive diffractive processes on the nucleon are investigated within a model in which the quark-nucleon interaction is mediated by Pomeron exchange and the quark substructure of mesons is described within a framework based on the…
Data for the differential cross sections for $\gamma^* p\to\rho^0 p$, $\gamma^* p \to \phi p$ and $\gamma^* p\to J/\psi p$, at all available values of $Q^2$, fit very well to a combination of soft pomeron, hard pomeron and $f_2$ exchange.
The elastic leptoproduction of $\phi$ measured by the H1 collaboration at HERA is described by a perturbative QCD model, based on open $s\bar{s}$ production and parton hadron duality, proposed by Martin et al. We observe that both the total…
We give a general formula for the cross section for diffractive vector meson electroproduction, gamma^* p -> Vp. We first calculate diffractive qqbar production, and then use parton-hadron duality by projecting out the J^P = 1^- state in…
We present a nonperturbative QCD calculation of diffractive vector meson production in virtual photon nucleon scattering at high energy. We use the nonperturbative model of the stochastic QCD vacuum which yields linear confinement and makes…
Diffractive photoproduction of rho, phi and J/psi was studied in the BFKL approach to hard colour singlet exchange. Differential cross sections, the energy dependence and spin density matrix elements were calculated and compared to data…
In high energy electron-ion colliders, a new way to probe nucleon structure becomes available through diffractive reactions, where the incident particle produces a very energetic almost forward particle. QCD describes these reactions as due…
We predict the cross-section for diffractive $\phi$ electroproduction within the dipole model, using a holographic meson wavefunction for the $\phi$. For the dipole cross-section, we use the Color Glass Condensate dipole model whose…
The diffractive electro- or photo-production of two mesons separated by a large rapidity gap gives access to generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in a very specific way. First, these reactions allow to easily access the chiral-odd…
We present a new technique to calculate the cross-section for diffractive vector meson production and DVCS in electron-ion collisions based on the dipole model. The measurement of these processes can provide valuable information on…
We calculate diffractive photo- and leptoproduction of $\rho$-, $\rho'$- and $\rho''$-mesons. The incoming photon dissociates into a $q\bar{q}$-dipole which scatters on the nucleon and transforms into a vector meson state. The scattering…
We confront saturation-based results for diffractive $\psi(2s)$ and $\rho$ production at HERA and $J/\psi$ photoproduction with all available data including recent ones from HERA, ALICE and LHCb, finding a good agreement. We show that the…
A Dyson-Schwinger-based model of pomeron exchange is employed to calculate diffractive rho-, phi- and J/psi-meson electroproduction cross sections. It is shown that the magnitude of the current-quark mass m_f of the quark and antiquark…
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 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…
Fluctuations play an important role in diffractive production of vector mesons. It was in particular recently suggested, based on the Impact-Parameter dependent Saturation model (IPSat), that geometrical fluctuations triggered by the motion…
