The charge and transition form factors of pion ($F_\pi$, $F_{\pi\gamma}$, and $F_{\pi\gamma^*}$) are studied with the light-front quark model. We find that our results for $F_\pi$ and $F_{\pi\gamma}$ agree very well with experimental data.…

Differential cross sections for inclusive dijet photoproduction on a virtual pion have been calculated in next-to-leading order QCD as a function of $E_T, \eta$, and $x_{\pi}$. The cross sections are compared with recent ZEUS data on…
A reaction model for $\gamma + p \to J/\psi + p$ photoproduction, which exposes the $c \bar c$ content of the photon in making the transition $\gamma\to c\bar c + \mathbb P \to J/\psi$ and couples the intermediate $c \bar c$ system to the…
