%0 Journal Article %T Gauge Invariance and Factorisation in Exclusive Meson Production %A A Hebecker %A P V Landshoff %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0370-2693(97)01413-5 %X The structure of the nonperturbative vector meson vertex function complicates the proof of the factorisation theorem for the reaction $\gamma^*p\to Vp$. It leads to additional contributions but, in a simple model for the vertex function, gauge invariance ensures that they cancel and factorisation is preserved. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9710296v1
