Measurement of elastic φ photoproduction at HERA

Abstract: The production of φ mesons in the reaction e + p → e + φp (φ → K + K − ) at a median Q 2 of 10 −4 GeV 2 has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The differential φ photoproduction cross section dσ/dt has an exponential shape and has been determined in the kinematic range 0.1 < |t| < 0.5 GeV 2 and 60 < W < 80 GeV. An integrated cross section of σ γp→φp = 0.96 ± 0.19 +0.21 −0.18 µb has been obtained by extrapolating to t = 0. When compared to lower energy data, the results show a weak energy dependence o… Show more

“…The QCD-inspired version of the Pomeron exchange of Donnachie and Landshoff [5], in which the Pomeron is replaced by two non-perturbative To check whether our model provides a reasonable energy dependence we have also calculated the differential cross section at a much larger photon energy (p γ lab = 2611 GeV). The result is depicted in Fig 4 (solid line) along with a two-parameter fit of |t| ≤ 0.5 GeV 2 data from ZEUS [36]. The hatched area indicates the uncertainties in the forward cross section and the slope parameter.…”

“…Experimentally, most of the world data exist in the high energy diffractive region. These include results from DESY [10][11][12], Cornell [13,14], SLAC [15][16][17], Fermilab [18,19], Daresbury [20,21], and HERA [22,23]. Due to the inherently small φ cross sections, these data are generally sparse with wide energy bin-widths and limited statistical precision.…”
