Cross sections for elastic and proton-dissociative photoproduction of J/psi mesons are measured with the H1 detector in positron-proton collisions at HERA. The data were collected at $ep$ centre-of-mass energies sqrt{s} approx 318 GeV and sqrt{s} approx 225 GeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of L = 130 pb^{-1} and L = 10.8 pb^{-1}, respectively. The cross sections are measured as a function of the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy in the range 25< Wgp < 110 GeV. Differential cross sections $\mathrm{d}\sigma / \mathrm{d}t$, where $t$ is the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, are measured in the range $|t| < 1.2 \, \gevsq$ for the elastic process and $|t| < 8 \, \gevsq$ for proton dissociation. The results are compared to other measurements. The $\Wgp$ and $t$-dependences are parametrised using phenomenological fits.

  1. Exclusive photoproduction of a di-meson pair with large invariant mass

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Calculations of di-meson photoproduction amplitudes at leading order show cross sections up to 100 times larger than single-meson cases, enabling better GPD extraction.

  2. The OPE-Regge Transition in $J/\psi$ Photoproduction

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Leading-twist convolution with small-x singular PDFs matches threshold J/ψ data but requires eikonal unitarization fitted to HERA to cover the full energy range, with the dispersive real part dominating near threshold.

  3. Dissociative associated $J/\psi$ and dimuon production in Ap ultraperipheral collisions via double parton scattering

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Derives a DPS pocket formula and effective cross section expression for dissociative J/ψ + dimuon production in Ap ultraperipheral collisions, with predictions at LHC and FCC energies.

    nucl-ex 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    ATLAS reports differential cross sections for coherent exclusive J/ψ → μ⁺μ⁻ in Pb+Pb ultraperipheral collisions at √s_NN=5.36 TeV, agreeing with models but in tension with prior Run 2 data at central rapidity.
