We propose a simple meson-exchange model of the photoproduction of $\rho$- and $\omega$-mesons off protons near threshold ($E_\gamma$ less than 2 GeV). This model provides a good description of the available data and implies a large…

The strong coupling of rho meson to the nucleon produces $s$ and $p$ wave rho meson nucleon $(\rho N)$ resonances. In a nucleus, the $\rho N$ resonance-hole polarization generates the optical potential or self-energy for the rho meson. The…
