Exclusive photoproduction of $f_1(1285)$ meson off proton in the JLab kinematics

Abstract

Within the Regge approach, we calculated the exclusive $f_1(1285)$ meson photoproduction cross section at energy of few GeV. The calculation shows that the cross section is sizable, being in the range of 100 nb, and much larger than the the expected cross section of the $\eta (1295)$ meson photoproduction at the same energy. These two facts make possible to use this reaction to study the poor known properties of the $f_1(1285)$ meson in the JLab kinematics.
