Abstract: | We derive a full set, and determine the twist, of helicity amplitudes for diffractive production of light to heavy vector
mesons in deep inelastic scattering. For large Q
2 all helicity amplitudes but the double-flip are calculable in perturbative QCD and are proportional to the gluon structure
function of the proton at a similar hardness scale. We find a substantial breaking of the s-channel helicity conservation, which must persist in real photoproduction also.
