Description

The amplitude for γp→φp is calculated in a pQCD kT-factorization approach. The total cross section for this process is compared with HERA data. Total cross section, as a function of photon-proton energy and photon virtuality, is calculated. We also discuss the ratio of σL/σT and the dependence on the mass of the strange quark. The amplitude for γp→φp is used to predict the cross section for exclusive photoproduction of φ meson in proton-proton collisions. Absorption effects are included. The results for RHIC, Tevatron and LHC energies are presented.
