C-parity and Regge Intercepts

Abstract

In this work, we obtain constraints on the intercepts of the Regge pole tra jectories (which we believe to have definite C-parity) based on the rule that C-even exchanges correspond to attractive forces between hadrons undergo ing elastic scattering, and C-odd exchanges correspond to attractive forces in the case of particle-antiparticle scattering and repulsive forces in the case of particle-particle scattering.
