  In this work, the photoproduction of $a_{2}(1320)$ off a proton target is
investigated within an effective Lagrangian approach and the Regge model. The
theoretical result indicates that the shapes of {the} total and differential
cross sections of the $\gamma p\rightarrow a_{2}^{+}n$ reaction within the
Feynman (isobar) model are much different from that of the Reggeized treatment.
The obtained cross section is compared with the existing experimental results
at low energies. The $a_{2}(1320)$ production cross section at high energies
can be tested by the COMPASS experiment, which can provide important
information for clarifying the role of the Reggeized treatment at that energy
range.
