Abstract Using a sample of more than 240000 events taken with the H1 detector at HERA in 2005, a new measurement of exclusive r0 photoproduction in the kinematic range 20 < W < 90 GeV and |t| < 3 GeV2 is performed. From the measurement of the W dependence of this process in eight bins of t, the Pomeron trajectory aPom (t) can be extracted for the first time from the data of a single experiment. The result is

aPom (t) = {1.093 ± 0.003 (stat.) +0.008 -0.007 (syst.)} + {0.116 ± 0.027 (stat.) +0.036 -0.046 (syst.)} GeV-2 × t.
