Abstract

I review the modern status of QCD theory of diffractive vector meson production with the focus on shrinkage of photons with Q2 and (Q2+mV2)scaling, j-plane properties of the QCD pomeron and Regge shrinkage of diffraction cone, s-channel helicity non-conservation and sensitivity to spin-orbital properties of vector mesons.
