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…
Study of exclusive photoproduction of $J/\Psi$ mesons was carried out in a factorization approach. Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for gluons, which play an important role here, are constructed using the double distribution…
According to quantum chromodynamics, at sufficiently high energy, the structure of hadrons reveals a dynamic equilibrium between gluon splitting and gluon recombination -- a phenomenon known as saturation. The process of diffractive…
The two gluon exchange model of the pomeron is used to compute the photoproduction reaction $\gamma p \to Z^0 p$. The predicted cross section is too small to be observed at HERA, but may be detectable at an eventual Next Linear Collider.
The $J/\Psi$ photo-production reactions on the nucleon can provide information on the roles of gluons in determining the $J/\Psi$-nucleon ($J/\Psi$-N) interactions and the structure of the nucleon. The information on the $J/\Psi$-N…

We study diffractive photoproduction of $J/\psi$ by taking the charm quark as a heavy quark. A description of nonperturbative effect related to $J/\psi$ can be made by using NRQCD. In the forward region of the kinematics, the interaction…
We revise and update an earlier model for $J/\psi$ photoproduction based on a dipole Pomeron exchange. We show that the H1 and ZEUS experimental data reported recently can be well fitted by a soft Pomeron alone.
Inspired by the recent near-threshold $J/\psi$ photoproduction measurements, we discuss gluon gravitational form factors (GFFs) and internal properties of the proton. This work presents a complete analysis of the proton gluon GFFs…
