Abstract
Photoproduction of $\mathrm{\Phi}$-vector-mesons has been studied from reaction threshold up to W=2.4 GeV with the SAPHIR spectrometer at the Bonn electron stretcher ring ELSA. Total cross-sections, differential cross-sections and decay angular distributions were measured. We find evidence for strong non-diffractive contributions to $\mathrm{\Phi}$ photoproduction.
