The production of φ-mesons in collisions of 2.83 GeV protons with C, Cu, Al, and Au targets has been measured with the ANKE magnetic spectrometer at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY. The φ-mesons were detected at small angles via their K+K− decay. The measured target mass dependence of the production cross section can be related to the in-medium φ width. First comparisons with model calculations suggest a significant broadening of the φ-width relative to its vacuum value of 4.3 MeV/c2.
