Title: Phi-meson photoproduction, New results from LEPS/SPring-8
Abstract: Phi-meson photoproduction near the threshold with linearly-polarized photons provides information on a possible exotic production mechanism such as the glue-ball exchange process.
A measurement of differential cross sections and decay angular distributions for the phi-meson photoproduction on protons has been carried out near the threshold at BL33LEP of SPring-8(LEPS).
In this talk, new results on the differential cross sections and the decay angular distributions will be shown. The differential cross sections as a function of the beam energy shows a peaking structure which is incompatible with the model calculation based on the Pomeron exchange and pseudo scalar exchange processes. I will discuss a possible interpretation of the results in connection with forthcoming results from new data with a deuteron target and experiments with higher beam energy.
