Measurements have been made of the process γρ → π0ρ for photon energies from 4 to 18 GeV and four-momentum transfers t between -0.1 and -1.4 (GeV/c)2. The reaction γρ → ηρ has been studied between 4 and 9 GeV for t-values from -0.3 to -1.4 (GeV/c)2. The experiment was carried out at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) by passing the SLAC photon beam through a target containing gaseous hydrogen for small momentum transfers and liquid hydrogen for higher t-values. The recoil protons were analyzed and detected in the SLAC 1.6 GeV/c spectrometer, and the "missing mass" of the neutral product was calculated from kinematics.
