K20+p→K10+pand the Regge Trajectory of theωMeson

Abstract

The behavior of the process ${K_2}^0+p\to {K_1}^0+p$ at high energy is shown to be dominated near the forward direction by Reggeized $\omega$ exchange with an intercept ${\alpha }_{\omega }\mathrm{}\left(0\right)\mathrm{}\simeq 0.5$. It is shown how a study of the energy dependence and angular distribution in this process will determine the important characteristics of the $\omega$ Regge trajectory and residue functions.
