The model is fitted to the data on dsigma/dt, B and elastic sigma for Q^2=0 and beyond the threshold region. The elastic cross sections for both phi and J/psi photoproduction show a moderate increase within the HERA energy region. The flattening of the slope B(s) (little or no shrinkage) for J/psi is not correlated with the slope of the Pomeron trajectory. Estimates for Upsilon photoproduction at HERA are given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-12-21T15:12:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heavy vector mesons", "diffraction", "dipole pomeron exchange", "hera energy region", "inelastic gamma-p-v vertex" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 481321 } } }
