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. Collision energy dependence in heavy ion collisions from nonlinear QCD evolution

    nucl-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    JIMWLK evolution of the nuclear initial state flattens the centrality dependence of multiplicity and lowers mean transverse momentum, improving data agreement at LHC energies.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
