Photoproduction of J/ψ and ϒ in exclusive and proton dissociative diffractive events

We use a perturbative QCD based kT -factorization approach, to calculate the amplitude for the diffractive γp → Vp processes, where V is a J/ψ or ϒ ground state or excited vector meson. Using these amplitudes, we evaluate the cross section for exclusive photoproduction of J/ψ, ψ′, ϒ mesons in proton...
