Abstract The elastic photoproduction of $\psi(2S)$ mesons is analyzed using data collected between 1996 and 1999 with the H1 detector at the HERA collider. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of about $\sim38\:\mbox{pb}^{-1}$. The $\psi(2S)$ mesons are identified through their leptonic decay. The $t$-dependence of the elastic $\psi(2S)$ production differential cross section is compared to that of $J/\psi$ production, and the slope, parameterized as $e^{-b|t|}$, is measured to be $b=4.5\pm 1.2^{~~+1.4}_{~~-0.7}~ \GeV^{-2}$.
