Vector Meson Production in the Golec-Biernat Wuesthoff Model

Abstract

We apply the Golec-Biernat Wuesthoff model in the calculation of vector meson photo- and electroproduction. Starting from very simple non-relativistic wave functions we show that the model provides a good description of $J/\Psi$ cross sections in wide $Q^2$ and $W$ ranges. For the light mesons one obtains the approximately correct $W$ dependence and ratio of longitudinal to transverse cross sections, although in this case the normalization, affected mainly by the wave function employed, is not in good agreement with data.
