Deeply virtual and exclusive production of the omega meson
Exclusive {omega} electroproduction off the proton was measured at the highest possible four-momentum transfer with the (close to) 6 GeV beam now available at CEBAF. Cross sections are presented, together with an analysis of the {omega} spin density matrix elements. Indications are that {pi}{sup 0} exchange in the t-channel (or rather the exchange of the corresponding saturating Regge trajectory) seems to dominate the process {gamma}*p {yields} {omega}p, even for photon virtuality Q{sup 2} as large as 5 GeV{sup 2}. Contributions of the handbag type, related to Generalized Parton Distributions in the nucleon, are therefore difficult to extract from this particular process.
