Abstract
Exclusive rho(0) and phi muoproduction on deuterium, carbon and calciu m has been studied in the kinematic range 2 < Q(2) < 25 GeV2 and 40 < nu < 180 GeV. We discuss the Q(2) dependence of the cross sections, th e transverse momentum distributions for the vector mesons, the decay a ngular distributions and, in the case of the rho(0), nuclear effects. The data for rho(0) production are compatible with a diffractive mecha nism. The distinct features of phi production are a smaller cross sect ion and less steep p(t)(2) distributions than those for the rho(0) mes ons.
