Electroproduction of $\rho^0$ Mesons

1980 
Cross sections for rho/sup 0/ electroproduction measured in a streamer-chamber experiment are separated into elastic (ep..-->..eprho/sup 0/) and inelastic production channels. For the elastic channel, the total cross section and t dependence are presented. For the inelastic channel (1/sigma)dsigma/dz, (1/sigma)dsigma/dp/sub T//sup ts2/, and a density matrix element are shown and compared to quark-parton-model predictions. The ratio of rho/sup 0/ to direct ..pi../sup 0/ production is found to be 2.0 +- 0.5 +- 0.3, where the first error is statistical, and the second error is systematic.
