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) $sc a l in g, j - pl an e p r o p er t i eso f t h e QC D p o m er o nan d R e g g es h r ink a g eo f d i f f r a c t i o n co n e,$ s$-channel helicity non-conservation and sensitivity to spin-orbital properties of vector mesons.
