At forward rapidities and high energies we expect to probe the non-linear regime of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). One of the most promising observables to constrain the QCD dynamics in this regime is exclusive vector meson photoproduction…
A successful interpretation of the cross sections for elastic and inelastic vector meson production can be made if one assumes the underlying dynamics to be governed by hard partonic subprocesses. Extending these partonic approaches to…

We make a detailed study on the typical production channel of double charmoniums, $e^+e^-\to J/\psi+\eta_c$, at the center-of-mass collision energy $\sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV. The key component of the process is the form factor $F_{\rm VP}(q^2)$,…

The production of $J/\psi$ mesons in continuum $e^+e^-$ annihilations has been studied with the BABAR detector at energies near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, approximately 10.6 GeV. The mesons are distinguished from $J/\psi$ production in B…
The production of vector mesons in the fragmentation process of polarized quarks is studied within the recursive String+${}^3P_0$ model, improving a previous version of the model in which the production of pseudoscalar mesons only was…
Vector mesons are copiously produced in ultra-peripheral collisions. In these collisions, the impact parameter is larger than the sum of the radii of two projectiles, implying that electromagnetic processes become dominant. The cross…
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…
We study the exclusive production of scalar $S = 0^{++}$ and tensor $T = 2^{++}$ mesons through single-photon annihilation $e^+ e^- \to \gamma^* \to \gamma S(T)$. Using QCD compositeness of the involved hadrons considered as quark-antiquark…

The STAR collaboration has observed an excess production of $e^+e^-$ pairs in relativistic heavy ion collisions, over the expectations from hadronic production models. The excess pairs have transverse momenta $p_T < 150\ {\rm MeV}/c$ and…

We calculate the cross sections for the processes $e^+e^-\to \jpsi \eta$ and $e^+e^-\to \jpsi \eta^\prime$ at various CM energies $\sqrt{s}$. We first predict these cross sections by combining NRQCD with LC factorization. The predicted…
