Description
Recent studies of light vector meson production in heavy nuclear targets
has generated interest in ρ-ω interference in the leptonic decay channel. An
experimental study of the elementary process provides valuable input for
theoretical models and calculations. In experiment E04-005, high statistics
photoproduction data has been taken in Jefferson Lab’s CLAS detector with
tagged photon energies up to 5 GeV incident on a LH2 target. Preliminary
results of the e+e− decay channel, with emphasis on the ρ-ω interference
region, will be shown and compared to similar experimental data of photoproduction
off of heavier nuclear targets (2H to Pb) from Jefferson Lab
experiment E01-112.
