High-statistics measurements of differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements for the reaction $\ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\phi}p$ have been made using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. We cover center-of-mass energies ($\sqrt{s}$) from 1.97 to 2.84 GeV, with an extensive coverage in the $\ensuremath{\phi}$ production angle. The high statistics of the data …
