The differential cross section for ω meson production in the reaction γp → ωp, via ω &rarr π0γ decay, was measured using the Radphi detector. The data selection is discussed and the efficiency of the data collection and analysis is examined and quantified. The measured cross section as a function of beam energy and t, the square of the momentum transfered from the incoming photon to the outgoing ω, agrees well with previous results for ω photoproduction on a proton target.
