Electromagnetic Production of Charged Vector Mesons

Abstract
The Coulomb scattering, Compton scattering, bremsstrahlung, and pair production of charged particles of spin one is investigated, in comparison with spin zero and one-half. The singular role of the longitudinal meson degree of freedom in high-energy processes is emphasized. The pair production of charged vector mesons of unit and zero magnetic moment is calculated in Weizsäcker-Williams approximation and compared with the cross section for their production by neutrinos.
