Why Regge Trajectories? Alfred Tang University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Content • Regge Trajectories • Bound State Equations • QCD string model • Feynman-Field Perturbative QCD Model • Iso-hadron Model
Chew-Frautschi Plots • Bootstrap hypothesis • Chew-Frautschi conjecture • Linearity assumed to fit data • Linearity justified by Regge pole theory
Schrödinger Equation in p-space • Simplest example with a linear potential: s-state SE • Norbury, et al. used basis function method
Nystrom-plus-correction Method • Represent (p) as a vector. • The kernel contains the Q’(y) and kinetic terms. • Solve SE as a matrix equation. • Extrapolate the eigenvalues.
Pieces of Puzzle • Regge trajectories are slightly non-linear. • Bound state equations using Nystrom-plus-correction method produces RT of increasing slopes. • Variable Np is needed for different reactions in the Feynman-Field model.

Iso-hadron Model • Iso-hadrons have the same quantum numbers and symmetries but different masses. • Partons in lighter iso-hadrons carry greater fraction of the hadron’s energy and are kinematically favorable to fragment into heavier hadrons. • The concentrations of iso-hadrons vary with J. • Non-linear Regge trajectories are caused by the J dependence of iso-hadron concentrations.
