The cross section for the elastic photoproduction of \r0 mesons ($\gamma p \to \rho^0 p$) has been measured with the H1 detector at HERA for two average photon-proton centre-of-mass energies of 55 and 187 GeV. TheFcenterline lower energy…
In this paper we address the question: ``do the limits on technirho production at the Tevatron mean what we think they do ?'' These limits are based on calculations that rely on Vector Meson Dominance (VMD). VMD was invented in order to…
We develop tools to determine the gluonic content of a resonance of known mass, width and $J^{PC}$ from its branching fraction in radiative quarkonium decays and production cross section in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions. We test the procedures…
Branching ratios observed for $D$ and B decays to final states $a_1(1260)^{\pm} X$ are comparable to those for corresponding decays to $\pi^{\pm} X$ and $\rho^{\pm} X$ and much larger than those for all other decays. Implications are…
Excited vector mesons, some of which are predicted to include gluonic excitation in their wavefunctions, and certain classes of axial vector mesons, some of which are implicated in the decay of spin-exotic mesons, decay dominantly to…
The dominant mechanism for the central exclusive production of vector meson in $p p$ and $p \bar p$ collisions is the $\gamma$ $I P$ fusion. As a building block for the pp reaction, the amplitude for photoproduction $ \gamma p \to V p $ is…

We show that linear Regge trajectories for mesons and glueballs, and the cubic mass spectrum associated with them, determine a relation between the masses of the \rho meson and the scalar glueball, M(0^{++})=3/\sqrt{2} M(\rho ), which…
Higgs boson and massive-graviton productions in association with two jets via vector-boson fusion (VBF) processes and their decays into a vector-boson pair at hadron colliders are studied. They include scalar and tensor boson production…
We develop the color dipole phenomenology of diffractive photo- and electroproduction $\gamma^{*}\,N\rightarrow V(V')\,N$ of light vector mesons ($V(1S) = \phi^0, \omega^0, \rho^0$) and their radial excitations ($V'(2S) = \phi', \omega',…
We present a holographic analysis of diffractive photoproducton of charmonium $J/\psi$ and upsilonium $\Upsilon$ on a proton, considered as a bulk Dirac fermion, for all ranges of $\sqrt{s}$, i.e., from near threshold to very high energy.…
Exclusive diffractive photoproduction of heavy vector mesons (V=phi, J/psi and Upsilon) at HERA is studied in a model employing a dipole Pomeron exchange (P) with an inelastic gamma-P-V vertex. The model is fitted to the data on dsigma/dt,…
The observation of $\pi_1(1600) \to \pi \rho$ is shown in the flux-tube model to be compatible with this state being a hybrid meson with branching ratio to this channel $\sim 30%$. The $\pi \rho$ widths of other hybrids are related by…
Understanding the pattern of gluon radiation in $t \bar t$ production and decay processes is important for making an accurate determination of the top mass from the momenta of its decay products. The larger energy of the LHC $pp$ collider…
