Abstract

The photo-production of φ mesons from Li, C, Al, and Cu at forward angles has been measured at Eγ = 1.5-2.4 GeV. The number of events for incoherent φ photo-production is found to have a target mass number dependence of A^0.72±0.07 in the kinematical region of |t| ≤ 0.6 GeV²/c². The total cross section of the φ-nucleon interaction, σ_φN, has been estimated as 35 _-11 ⁺¹⁷ mb using the A-dependence of the φ photo-production yield and a Glauber-type multiple scattering theory. This value is much larger than σ_φN in free space, suggesting that the φ properties might change in the nuclear medium.
