A quark model approach to the photoproduction of vector mesons off nucleons is proposed. Its starting point is an effective Lagrangian of the interaction between the vector meson and the quarks inside the baryon, which generates the…
We discuss ${\gamma}{\gamma}\to {\pi}{\pi}$ reactions, starting from the two-pion threshold up to about $\sqrt{s_{{\gamma}{\gamma}}}$ = 6 GeV. We include the dipion continuum due to pion exchange (for ${\pi}^+{\pi}^-$) and ${\rho}^\pm$…
