Differential and total cross sections for the pp -> ppK+K- reaction have been
measured at a proton beam energy of 2.83 GeV using the COSY-ANKE magnetic
spectrometer. Detailed model descriptions fitted to a variety of
one-dimensional distributions permit the separation of the pp -> pp phi cross
section from that of non-phi production. The differential spectra show that
higher partial waves represent the majority of the pp -> pp phi total cross
section at an excess energy of 76 MeV, whose energy dependence would then seem
to require some s-wave phi-p enhancement near threshold. The non-phi data can
be described in terms of the combined effects of two-body final state
interactions using the same effective scattering parameters determined from
lower energy data.
