Leptoproduction of Vector Mesons at Small $\text{xbj}$ and Generalized Parton Distributions

Abstract

Deep virtual vector meson leptoproduction at small $\text{xbj}$ is analyzed in the framework of generalized parton distributions. It is shown that the inclusion of transverse degrees of freedom leads to reasonable agreement with the cross section data for light mesons.
