Abstract

We studied the exclusive reaction ep → e' p' ᵠ using the ᵠ →K⁺K^- 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 Q² from 0.7 to 2.2 GeV²and W from 2.0 to 2.6 GeV. Taken together with all previous data, we find a consistent picture of ᵠ production on the proton. Our measurement shows the expected decrease of the t slope with the vector-meson formation time c Δ t below 2 fm. At c Δ t = 0.6 fm, we measure b_ɸ = 2.27 ± 0.42 GeV-2. The cross section dependence on W as W^{0.2 ±0.1} at Q², 1.3 GeV² was determined by comparison with ɸ production at HERA after correcting for threshold effects. This is the same dependence as observed in photoproduction.
