Inclusive Photoproduction of rho0, K*0 and phi Mesons at HERA
Abstract
Inclusive non-diffractive photoproduction of rho(770)0, K*(892)0 and phi(1020) mesons is investigated with the H1 detector in ep collisions at HERA. The corresponding average γ p centre-of-mass energy is 210 GeV. The mesons are measured in the transverse momentum range 0.5<pT<7 GeV and the rapidity range |ylab|<1. Differential cross sections are presented as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity, and are compared to the predictions of hadroproduction models.
