Reggeization of Pion Exchange in Production Processes

Abstract

Couplings of the pion Regge trajectory are discussed. We find that the kinematic factors prescribed by Wang must be supplemented by further kinematic terms. A simple physical interpretation is given for these additional terms. Our considerations lead to a model of pion trajectory couplings, which is in reasonable agreement with those experiments on vector- and tensor-meson production in which pion exchange is expected to dominate the forward peak.

The authors would like to thank Murray Gell-Mann for stimulating their interest in the problem of fitting data with Reggeized pion exchange. We have had many helpful discussion with Gell-Mann, Frank Henyey, David Horn, and Christoph Schmid on the determination of kinematic zero-free amplitudes.
