Description

We show that AdS/QCD generates predictions for the rate of diffractive ρ-meson electroproduction that are in agreement with data collected at the HERA electron- proton collider. We also predict the exclusive two pion spectra recently measured at HERA using AdS/QCD holographic light-front wave functions for the ρ-meson and its radial excitations.
