The diffractive process $\gamma p\to V + X$ (where $V$ is a vector meson and $X$ results from the dissociation of the proton) is studied. In particular, we consider the region of large momentum transfer (i.e. $|t|\gg\Lambda_{QCD}^2$) and…
The multiperipheral ladder structure of the Pomeron leads to the quite natural conclusion that the elastic slope Bel is not simple linear function of the colliding particles energy logarithm. The existing experimental data on the…
