The exclusive electroproduction of J/psi mesons, ep->epJ/psi, has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA for virtualities of the exchanged photon in the ranges 0.15<Q^2<0.8 GeV^2 and 2<Q^2<100 GeV^2 using integrated luminosities of 69 pb^-1 and 83 pb^-1, respectively.The photon-proton centre-of-mass energy was in the range 30<W<220 GeV and the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex |t|<1.The cross sections and decay angular distributions are presented as functions of Q^2, W and t. The effective parameters of the Pomeron trajectory are in agreement with those found in J/psi photoproduction. The spin-density matrix elements, calculated from the decay angular distributions, are consistent with the hypothesis of s-channel helicity conservation. The ratio of the longitudinal to transverse cross sections, sigma_L/sigma_T, grows with Q^2, whilst no dependence on W or t is observed. The results are in agreement with perturbative QCD calculations and exhibit a strong sensitivity to the gluon distribution in the proton.

  1. Extraction of the color dipole amplitude with physics-informed neural networks

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Physics-informed neural networks extract a model-independent color dipole amplitude from inclusive HERA data that predicts exclusive J/ψ photoproduction cross-sections without parameter retuning.

  2. Exclusive $J/\psi$ photoproduction in photon-proton diffractive scattering: A light-front Hamiltonian approach

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    BLFQ proton and J/ψ light-front wave functions yield a slightly lower exclusive J/ψ photoproduction cross section than prior models, with matching exponential slope B≈3 GeV^{-2}, usable as BK initial conditions.

  3. 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.

  4. Effective theories for nuclei at high energies

    hep-ph 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    This paper reviews the Color Glass Condensate effective theory, covering its foundations, its role in deep inelastic scattering, and its use in setting initial conditions for heavy-ion collisions.
