Abstract

We exhibit an exclusive process, namely the photoproduction of ar0 gamma pair with large invariant mass, which violates collinear factorization. We explicitly demonstrate that this is due to the fact that there exists diagrams with gluon exchange in t channel, contributing at the leading power, for which Glauber gluons are trapped. This is caused by the pinching of the contour integration of both the plus and minus light-cone components of the Glauber gluon momentum. We argue that this leads to the observed "end pointlike" divergence of the convolution integral at leading order and leading power when collinear factorization is na & iuml;vely assumed.
