Description:
Systematic analysis of available data for omega-meson photoproduction is given in the framework of the Regge theory. At photon energies above 20 GeV the gamma+p-->omega+p reaction is entirely dominated by Pomeron exchange. However, it was found that Pomeron exchange model cannot reproduce the gamma+p-->rho+p and gamma+p-->omega+p data at high energies simultaneously with the same set of parameters. The comparison between rho and omega data indicates a large room for meson exchange contribution to omega-meson photoproduction at low energies. It was found that at low energies the dominant contribution comes from pi- and f(2)-meson exchanges. There is smooth transition between the meson exchange model at low energies and the Regge theory at high energies.
