Abstract This paper reports an H1 preliminary analysis of HERA-1 data for h\ and \ph\ VM diffractive production, both in the elastic and proton dissociative channel. The analysed data, which correspond to 51 pb-1, include a total of 12500 events in the transition region from low Q2 to the perturbative domain, $2.5 < Q2 < 60 GeV2, with data analysed in a consistent way, in particular for background estimates. The total, longitudinal and transverse cross sections are measured as a function of Q2, W and |t|. The polarisation efects are discussed in detail, in particular the Q2, |t| and (for rho mesons) M(pi,pi) dependences of the s-channel helicity conserving and violating amplitudes and phases. A consistent picture of VM production at intermediate and large Q2 thus emerges from H1 HERA-1 measurements, which can be interpreted in a QCD framework.
