A model based on a dipole Pomeron framework for vector meson exclusive photoproduction by real and virtual photons shows very good agreement with the experimental data. The model does not violate unitarity constrains and describes in a…
An increased precision of HERA data allows studies of exclusive processes in their transition from soft to hard interactions as well as in the pQCD domain. The recent measurements of vector meson production and Deeply Virtual Compton…

An empirical principle for the construction of a linear relationship between the total angular momentum and squared-mass of baryons is proposed. In order to examine linearity of the trajectories, a rigorous least-squares regression analysis…

We study the feasibility of measuring semi-exclusive photon production \gamma + p \to \gamma + Y at HERA. The cross section of photons produced at large transverse momenta, recoiling off an inclusive system Y of limited mass, can without…

The nonlinearity of Regge trajectories at real negative values of the argument is discussed as their general QCD-inspired property. The processes of elastic diffractive scattering $p+p\to p+p$ and $\bar p+p\to\bar p+p$ at collision energies…
