Abstract

We present results on measurements of photoproduction of

ρ^{0}

mesons from seven different nuclei. The forward cross sections are analyzed in terms of the

ρ

-nucleon total cross section and the

γ - ρ

coupling constant, giving

σ (ρ, N) = 26.8 \pm 2.4

mb and

\frac{{γ_{ρ}}^{2}}{4 π} = 0.62 \pm 0.12

.
