Abstract

The photoproduction of $ϕ^{0}$ mesons from hydrogen, deuterium, and complex nuclei has been measured at energies from 6.4 to 9.0 GeV. Results are presented on the $t$ dependence from hydrogen and carbon. Forward cross sections for $ϕ^{0}$ photoproduction from $D_{2}$ , C, Mg, Cu, Ag, and Pb are analyzed in terms of the $ϕ^{0}$ -photon coupling constant, the $ϕ$ -nucleon total cross section, and the real part of the $ϕ$ -nucleon scattering amplitude.
