The photo-production of ϕ mesons from Li, C, Al, and Cu at forward angles has been measured Eγ=1.5–2.4GeV. number events for incoherent is found to have a target mass dependence A0.72±0.07 in the kinematical region |t|⩽0.6GeV2/c2. total cross section ϕ–nucleon interaction, σϕN, estimated as 35−11+17mb using A-dependence yield Glauber-type multiple scattering theory. This value much larger than σϕN free space, suggesting that properties might change nuclear medium.

Photoproduction of a phi meson on protons was studied by means linearly polarized photons at forward angles in the low-energy region from threshold to Egamma = 2.37 GeV. The differential cross sections t -|t|min do not increase smoothly as increases but show local maximum around 2.0 angular distributions demonstrate that mesons are photoproduced predominantly helicity-conserving processes, and is likely due unnatural-parity processes.
