Abstract

Using vector-meson-dominance arguments we estimate the contributions of $c\overline{c}$ vector mesons to total photon-nucleon cross sections. We find this contribution to be nonnegligible in the Fermilab energy range. We also discuss possible contributions from vector mesons made of hypothesized heavier quarks.
