The differential cross section of the reaction ( γ p → p φ ) has been measured in the t range 0 ⩽ t ⩽ 0.4 GeV 2 and for photon energies from 3.0 to 6.7 GeV. In particular for the small t region the measurement accuracy was better than 10%. We obtained for the slope parameter B in an exponential parametrization of the differential cross section d σ /d t = A e − Bt values of B ⋍ 6 ± 0.5 GeV −2 which are significantly larger than the slopes obtained by most other experiments at higher t values. This indicates a t dependence of B particularly in the small t region.

Photoproduction of phi Mesons at Small t Values

Inspire Record 98876 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27859

The reaction γ + p → Φ + p has been measured using a spark chamber spectrometer and a tagged photon beam in the energy range from 4.6 to 6.7 GeV. Approximately 3500 photoproduced elastic Φ-events have been collected in the t -range between t min and t = −0.4 (GeV/ c ) 2 . Cross sections and t -distributions are presented.

S - $P$ Wave Interference in $K^+ K^-$ Photoproduction Near $K^+ K^-$ Threshold

A mass-dependent asymmetry was observed in the decay angular distribution of a photoproduced K + K − system near the K + K − threshold. The corresponding moments 〈 Y 1 0 〉 have been evaluated. Interpreting the asymmetry as an S-P wave interface due to the states S 993 ∗ (0 + ) and ø 1019 (1 − ) one can compute the moments 〈 Y 1 0 〉 through an amplitude analysis. The theoretical calculation reproduces the experimental results well, if one assumes a real S-wave amplitude for the S 993 ∗ . The data cannot be explained by a non-resonant real S-wave. Other possibilities have been discussed. An estimate of the photoproduction cross section of the S ∗ → K + K − can be given on the basis of the above hypothesis.
