N.AbstractHelicity amplitudes for diffractive leptoproduction of the S and D wave states of vector mesons are derived. A dramatically different spin dependence for production of the S and D wave vector mesons is predicted. It is found that R=σ[sub L]/σ[sub T] is very small and that the higher twist effects in the production of longitudinally polarized D wave vector mesons are abnormally large. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.SubjectsHELICITY of nuclear particles; DIFFRACTIVE scattering; VECTOR mesonsPublicationJETP Letters, 1999, Vol 69, Issue 4, p294ISSN0021-3640Publication typeArticleDOI10.1134/1.568026
