Abstract

We studied the exclusive reaction [Formula Presented] using the [Formula Presented] decay mode. The data were collected using a 4.2 GeV incident electron beam and the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. Our experiment covers the range in [Formula Presented] from 0.7 to 2.2 [Formula Presented] and W from 2.0 to 2.6 GeV. Taken together with all previous data, we find a consistent picture of [Formula Presented] production on the proton. Our measurement shows the expected decrease of the t slope with the vector-meson formation time [Formula Presented] below 2 fm. At [Formula Presented] fm, we measure [Formula Presented] The cross section dependence on W as [Formula Presented] at [Formula Presented] was determined by comparison with [Formula Presented] production at HERA after correcting for threshold effects. This is the same dependence as observed in photoproduction.
