We exhibit an exclusive process, namely the photoproduction of a $\pi^{0}\gamma$ pair with large invariant mass, which violates collinear factorization. We explicitly demonstrate that this is due to the fact that there exists diagrams with gluon exchange in $t$ channel, contributing at the leading power, for which Glauber gluons are trapped. This is caused by the pinching of the contour integration of both the plus and minus light-cone components of the Glauber gluon momentum. We argue that this leads to the observed ``endpoint-like'' divergence of the convolution integral at leading order and leading power when collinear factorization is na\"ively assumed.

  1. Spacelike-Collinear Scattering by the Method of Regions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The kinematic factorisation-violating part of the two-loop spacelike-collinear splitting amplitude comes entirely from a single hidden region with soft and Glauber loop momenta.

  2. 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.

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

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Computes LO amplitudes for di-meson photoproduction channels sensitive to quark GPDs and reports high cross sections suitable for GPD studies at JLab energies.
