The $J/\psi$-$p$ scattering length, $\alpha_{J/\psi p}$, can be extracted from the $J/\psi$ photoproduction cross section near threshold using the Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) model to relate the reaction $\gamma p \to J/\psi p$ to $J/\psi…
The cross section of the process $e^+e^- \to K^+K^-$ was measured in the energy range $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.04--1.38 GeV in the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider. The measured cross section is described by the model of vector meson…
