Photoproduction of charmed vector mesons, γ+Nto {cal B}_c +overline{D^*}, with {cal B}_c=Λ_c or Sigma_c

The energy and the angular dependence of the associative vector charmed ${D^*}$-meson photoproduction, $\gamma+N\to {\cal B}_c+ \overline{D^*}$, with ${\cal B}_c=\Lambda_c$ or $\Sigma_c$, has been predicted in framework of pseudoscalar D-meson exchange model. The behavior of the cross section is driven by phenomenological form factors, which can be parametrized in terms of two independent parameters. The predicted values of the cross section are sizeable enough to be measured in the near threshold region.
