“…As stressed previously, data on Reaction (2) can perhaps provide the only unambiguous determination of the Pomeranchuk parameters. Other recent determinations based on Regge analysis of ^p, 12 if^, 13 and pp 14 scattering with Pomeranchuk and secondary Regge poles and cuts also yield a Pomeranchuk slope in the range a '(0)^0.35 to 0.5 (GeV/c) (6) Although the evidence on the Pomeranchuk slope from these analyses of common elastic channels is more indirect, the overall consistency of the various determinations gives strong support for a sloping Pomeranchuk trajectory.…”
