abstract

We compute a light front wave function for heavy vector mesons based on long distance matrix elements constrained by decay width analyses in the Non Relativistic QCD framework. Our approach provides a systematic expansion of the wave function in quark velocity. The first relativistic correction included in our calculation is found to be significant, and crucial for a good description of the HERA exclusive $\mathrm{J}/\psi$ production data. When looking at cross section ratios between nuclear and proton targets, the wave function dependence does not cancel out exactly. In particular the fully non-relativistic limit is found not to be a reliable approximation even in this ratio. The important role of the Melosh rotation to express the rest frame wave function on the light front is illustrated.

  1. Saturation effects in exclusive vector meson production in DIS

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A dense-limit CGC hotspot calculation shows saturation mildly suppresses exclusive vector meson cross sections in ep, with suppression growing at higher color-charge density.

  2. Exclusive $\mathrm{J}/\psi$ production off a dilute proton within a refined hotspot description

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A hot-spot model with saturation-scale and hotspot-number fluctuations plus a relativistic wave-function correction reproduces HERA exclusive J/psi data, with saturation-scale fluctuations dominating.

  3. Gluon Saturation Effects in Exclusive Heavy Vector Meson Photoproduction

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exclusive J/psi photoproduction off Pb targets prefers BK evolution with gluon saturation over linear BFKL evolution, and Upsilon production is predicted to distinguish them only at higher energies.

  4. Finite-size effects on small-$x$ evolution and saturation in proton and nuclear targets

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Including the proton's finite transverse size in small-x evolution weakens saturation effects compared with impact-parameter-averaged treatments, while lead-target predictions are insensitive to scheme choices once fi...

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Bayesian NLO analysis of near-threshold J/psi photoproduction data, combined with lattice QCD, finds compatible proton gravitational form factors and prefers negative C_q and C_g.
