PHOTON TAGGER
There are 384 energy counter and 61 timing counters.
The energy counters are 1/3 overlapping.
• This means we have effectivity doubled the number of channels to ~ 768 energy bins
Because of hodoscope spans the energy region 0.20 ≤ Ee’ ≤ 0.95Ee implies
Photon energy resolution is 0.1% of the incident electron energy, Ee !
• By conservation of energy: Eγ=Ee-Ee’

*Quantization axis is opposite the recoil proton in the cms of the proton and phi meson. We then boost along this quantization axis to the rest frame of the phi meson. The Kaon angular distributions are measured in this frame.

Natural-parity exchange mechanisms are larger than those for unnatural-parity exchange in both the s- and t-channels.
The relative contributions for natural- and unnatural-exchange processes are energy dependent in the t-channel and not in the s-channel
A small oscillation in W(ϕ) suggests a small pseudoscalar-meson-exchange component and that no pomeron exchange is present in the t channel.

Polarization ~70%
Over 8200 ϕ-meson events were analyzed. Highest ever at threshold with linearly polarized photons
Spin Density Matrix Elements (SDMEs) were extracted and are found to have non-VDM values.
Φ-meson azimuthal distribution has a considerable amplitude which suggests that one or more additional mechanisms beyond VDM are involved.
