The differential cross section for photoproduction of 1r + mesons from protons at an energy Ey = 230 MeV has been measured for center-of-mass angles of 0, 38, 82, 90, 116, 138, 146, and 180°. A magnetic spectrometer and a meson-stopping detector were used to identify mesons from momentum and range. stopped 1r+ mesons were detected by means of the 1r- p. decay. The statistical accuracy of the results is ±(3-4)% on the average. From comparison of the experimental data with theoretical calculations based on dispersion relations, we have estimated the value of the y1rp coupling constant, Ay1rp = (0.63 ± O.ll)ef.
