Abstract: (arXiv)
The photoproduction of ω\omega mesons on LH_2, C and Nb has been studied for incident photon energies from 900 to 1300 MeV using the CB/TAPS detector at ELSA. The ω\omega line shape does not show any significant difference between the LH_2 and the Nb targets. The data are compared with results of transport calculations that predict a sensitivity of the ω\omega line shape to in-medium modifications near the production threshold on a free nucleon of EγlabE_{\gamma}^{lab} = 1109 MeV.}
