Reggeization of Elementary Particles in Renormalizable Gauge Theories: Vectors and Spinors

Journal Article · · Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The question of the Reggeization of the elementary particles in renormalizable gauge theories with the Higgs-Kibble mechanism is examined. It is concluded that the massive non-Abelian gauge vector mesons and J = 1/2 fermions of these theories lie on Regge trajectories in every case in which a counting criterion due to Mandelstam is satisfied. Several explicit examples are presented which verify that the necessary factorization condition of the Born helicity matrices is satisfied at J = 1 and J = 1/2, supporting this conclusion. (auth)
