This study presents a detailed analysis of exclusive r0, w, and f electroproduction on the proton using data from the CLAS experiment. The analysis includes Monte Carlo acceptance calculations, background subtraction methods, and spectral fitting techniques with various models. The research investigates resonance properties, phase space distributions, and angular distributions, highlighting the comparison between data and theoretical models for various channels. The study also delves into the interpretation of results in terms of generalized parton distributions and the handbag approach. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the production mechanisms of vector mesons on the proton.

  28. Summary Largest set ever of data for VM (r0,w,f) production in the valence region (sL,T, ds/dt,…) Laget Regge model describes well most of the features of (r0,w,f)cross sections (total and diff., L and T) up to Q2~3.5 GeV2. GPD handbag approach, though with large corrections (kperp), gives good description of data for W>~5 GeV for the 3 channels. For f channel: continues to work for W<~5 GeV For r channel: fails by large for W<~5 GeV (can potentially be cured by adding new contribution to GPD DD parametrisation) For w channel: fails by large for W<~5 GeV (won’t be cured by the same ansatz than the r; p0vs H&E VM GPD dominance)
