We report on a measurement of Spin Density Matrix Elements (SDMEs) in hard exclusive ωω meson muoproduction on the proton at COMPASS using 160 GeV/c polarised μ+ and μ− beams impinging on a liquid hydrogen target. The measurement covers the range 5.0 GeV/c2 <W< 17.0 GeV/c2, with the average kinematics ⟨Q2⟩= 2.1 (GeV/c)2, ⟨W⟩=7.6⟨W⟩=7.6 GeV/c2, and ⟨p2T⟩=0.16 (GeV/c)2. Here, Q2 denotes the virtuality of the exchanged photon, W the mass of the final hadronic system and pT the transverse momentum of the ωω meson with respect to the virtual-photon direction. The measured non-zero SDMEs for the transitions of transversely polarised virtual photons to longitudinally polarised vector mesons (γ∗T→VL) indicate a violation of s-channel helicity conservation. Additionally, we observe a sizeable contribution of unnatural-parity-exchange (UPE) transitions that decreases with increasing W. The results provide important input for modelling Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs). In particular, they may allow to evaluate in a model-dependent way the contribution of UPE transitions and assess the role of parton helicity-flip GPDs in exclusive ω production.
