The exclusive photoproduction of J/psi mesons, gamma p->J/psi p, has been studied in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA, in the kinematic range 20<W<290 GeV, where W is the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy. The J/psi mesons were reconstructed in the muon and the electron decay channels using integrated luminosities of 38 pb^-1 and 55 pb^-1, respectively. The helicity structure of J/psi production shows that the hypothesis of s-channel helicity conservation is satisfied at the two standard-deviation level. The total cross section and the differential cross-section dsigma/dt, where t is the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, are presented as a function of W, for |t|<1.8 GeV^2. The t distribution exhibits an exponential shape with a slope parameter increasing logarithmically with W with a value b=4.15 \pm 0.05 (stat.)^{+0.30}_{-0.18} (syst.) GeV^-2 at W=90 GeV. The effective parameters of the Pomeron trajectory are alphapom(0) = 1.200 \pm 0.009(stat.)^{+0.004}_{-0.010}(syst.) and alphappom= 0.115 \pm 0.018(stat.)^{+0.008}_{-0.015}(syst.) GeV^-2.

  1. Spin resummation of heavy quarkonium photoproduction: from the gluonic gravitational form factors to the holographic pomeron

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spin-resummed holographic QCD unifies near-threshold GFF and high-energy pomeron regimes for heavy quarkonium photoproduction and shows fixed-spin GFF extraction is not controlled.

  2. Precise Determination of the Proton's Gluon Cloud Geometry from HERA data

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A global fit to all 104 HERA exclusive J/ψ data points resolves the proton's small-x gluon hotspots into a 0.105 fm Gaussian core plus a 0.22 fm exponential halo.

  3. Physics-Informed Global Extraction of the Universal Small-$x$ Dipole Amplitude

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A nonparametric PINN-constrained dipole amplitude simultaneously describes HERA total/charm DIS and J/psi photoproduction while maintaining Fourier positivity, unlike analytic MV-type fits.

  4. Off forward non-SCHC contributions to exclusive vector quarkonium production from the "spin dependent BFKL Pomeron"

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The spin-dependent BFKL Pomeron generates proton-helicity-flip amplitudes in exclusive quarkonium photoproduction at order momentum transfer squared, with explicit eikonal expressions and quark-model estimates.

  5. Initial condition for the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation at next-to-leading order

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Bayesian fit to HERA total and charm cross-section data constrains the NLO Balitsky-Kovchegov initial condition and provides posterior samples for uncertainty propagation.

  6. Diffractive Production of Heavy Quarkonia at the Electron Ion Collider

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Keeping the full gluon transverse momentum in diffractive quarkonium production matches HERA psi(2S)/J/psi ratios better than the standard dipole limit and yields new EIC Upsilon-ratio predictions.

  7. Near-Threshold OPE Constraints and High-Energy Diffractive Dynamics in J/psi Photoproduction

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Near-threshold J/psi photoproduction data are compatible with the OPE energy dependence, but cannot distinguish target-mass-corrected from uncorrected predictions or locate the transition to high-energy diffraction.

  8. Parton Distribution Functions and their Generalizations

    hep-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    A textbook-style introduction to the definitions, QCD properties, experimental access, and current phenomenological status of PDFs and their generalizations.
