We have measured exclusive ρ0, ω, and φ meson electroproduction at the Cornell Wilson Synchrotron. The final ρ0 data sample included 4637 four-constraint e+p→e+π++π−+p events, with incident energy E=11.5 GeV and electroproduction variables Q2 and W in the region 0.7<Q2<4 GeV2 and 1.9<W<4 GeV. We find that the width of the forward ρ0 diffraction peak increases rapidly as the lifetime of the intermediate hadron states decreases below cΔτ=1 fm and that the peak is wider for longitudinal ρ0 than it is for transverse ρ0. The longitudinal-transverse cross-section ratio Rp=σLσT, obtained assuming s-channel helicity conservation, becomes constant at high Q2. At fixed W the diffractive vector-meson-dominance (VMD) model reproduces the Q2 dependence of our cross section, σ=(σT+εσL), but is is not able to account for the rapid decrease in the cross section with increasing W we observe. We find that σωσρ depends on W but is independent of Q2 for 0.7<Q2<3 GeV2 and 2.2<W<3.7 GeV. However, σω is substantially larger than the diffractive VMD cross section. Our results for σφ are consistent with the Q2 dependence of the diffractive VMD model for 0.8<Q2<4 GeV2 and 2<W<3.7 GeV, but this model again fails to predict the W dependence we observe.

The electroproduction of a π-meson and of a Δ(1236) nucleon resonance on hydrogen, ep → e πΔ (1236), was investigated in the two charge states π − Δ ++ and π + Δ 0 by measuring the scattered lepton and the produced π-meson in coincidence. The differential cross sections as funcions of W , q 2 , t − t min and ø πq were determine in the following kinematical region: w = (π + δ) 2 = 2.0 − 3.0 GeV , |q 2 | = |(e−e′) 2 | = 0.15 − 0.8 GeV 2 /c 2 , |t − t min | = 0-0.5 GeV 2 /c 2 with t = ( p − δ) 2 , φ πq = 0 − 360° .
