Abstract

The hypothesis that the Pomeranchukon consists, in part, of a pair of complex conjugate Regge poles, as suggested by Chew and Snider, is shown to allow exact exchange-degenerate fits to the high-energy total-cross-section data. A unique prediction of this hypothesis is that the ratio of real to imaginary parts for the amplitude for

π^{-} p \to π^{-} p

scattering should not rise uniformly but rather rise to plateau, remain approximately constant from

p_{L} = 20 to 60 \frac{GeV}{c}

, then resume its rise.
