Hard exclusive photoproduction of $\Phi$ and $J/\Psi$ mesons

Abstract

We present predictions for differential cross sections for the reaction $\gamma p \to \Phi p$ and give an outlook to which extent our calculations may be generalized to the photoproduction of $J/\Psi$ mesons. Our results are obtained within perturbative QCD treating the proton as a quark-diquark system.
