Abstract
If an as yet unobserved vector meson exists, it can be seen most easily by diffractive photoproduction on nuclei using a photon beam at the National Accelerator Laboratory (NAL). We have considered the problem of coherent production of such a particle on nuclei, taking into account the mixing between the and the new vector meson to arbitrary order. The method used here can be generalized to describe coherent scattering of hadrons and nuclei. It will be shown that the interference effect reduces the production of the new vector meson considerably and that the dependence of the production cross section plays an important role.
