Abstract
We report on the measurement of spin density matrix elements of the in the photoproduction reaction , via its subsequent decay to . The measurement was performed as part of the GlueX experimental program in Hall D at Jefferson Lab using a linearly polarized photon beam with 8.2-8.8 GeV. These are the first such measurements in this photon energy range. Results are presented in bins of momentum transfer squared, . We compare the results with a Reggeon exchange model and determine that natural exchange amplitudes are dominant in photoproduction.
