Cross Section Measurement of Exclusive ϕ-Meson Electroproduction off the Proton at CLAS12

This analysis studies the exclusive ϕ meson electroproduction process ep → e′p′ϕ at CLAS12 in the kinematic region 0.39 ≤ Q² ≤ 8.38 GeV², 1.97 ≤ W ≤ 4.03 GeV, and 0.17 ≤ −t ≤ 7.26GeV². Cross section σ(Q²,W) and differential cross section dσ/dt (Q²,W,t) measurements are reported. The scaling of the o...
