Using vector meson dominance (VMD), tensor glueball photoproduction cross sections, asymmetries and widths are calculated. The predicted hadronic VV' decays are comparable for different vector meson (V = rho, omega and phi) channels with the omega phi width the largest but the radiative omega gamma and phi gamma decays are suppressed relative to rho gamma by over a factor of 2. This decay profile is distinct from typical meson branching rates and may be a useful glueball detection signature. Results are compared to a previous VMD scalar glueball study.
