Abstract

NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

The results of measurements on the inclusive production of [...] and [...] mesons from 100 GeV [...], [...], p and [...] beams in the triple Regge kinematic region are presented. Fits are made to the predictions of the triple Regge model which show that the model is successful. The [...], [...], K* and N Regge trajectories are extracted from the fits and they all agree with those found from exclusive processes at low -t. For -t above about 1.5 [...], the [...] and [...] trajectories both flatten off at a value of about -0.5. Evidence is seen for the wrong signature nonsense zero of the [...]. Results on the neutral final state production of [...] and [...] mesons from [...] beams are also presented and the [...] and [...] trajectories extracted using an extended triple Regge theory are in agreement with those from both the inclusive and exclusive processes. Comparisons with predictions from QCD are made.
