Determination ofK*andK**Regge Parameters and SU(3)-Symmetry Breaking

Abstract

In an attempt to determine the intercepts of the $K^{*}$ ($1^{-}$) and $K^{**}$ ($2^{+}$) Regge trajectories from total cross-section data, it is found that significant deviations from SU(3) symmetry have to be considered. These deviations are accounted for by assuming that the Pomeranchuk-Regge residue has a small $I=0\mathrm{}$ octet component apart from the usual SU(3)-singlet term.
