Abstract

The physical origins and dynamical details of Regge behavior are studied by examining a general class of theories which are capable of describing the observed large-momentum-transfer data and extending them into the intermediate-t range. The mechanism responsible for the smooth connection between the deep-scattering region and the Regge region is discussed in detail. We derive a convenient new form of the exact integral equation which describes generalized ladder graphs containing irreducible scattering amplitudes as the rungs. The limiting behavior of the Regge trajectories and residues are then calculated in both the single-channel and the more realistic coupled-channel cases. The trajectories are found to approach negative constants for large negative momentum transfer and the residues fall as powers in the same limit. Furthermore, since the forward and backward Regge regimes must join smoothly onto the same fixed-angle behavior, there are relations between a priori unrelated trajectory functions and residues. The standard properties of Regge poles, in particular factorization and signature, are shown to be present even though the basic, fixed-angle interaction possesses neither of these properties. These general considerations are then applied to the more specific constituent-interchange model. Here we find that the asymptotic behavior of the trajectories and residues aremore »« less

Connection between fixed-angle and fixed-momentum-transfer scattering in the framework of the double phase representation

Journal Article Grunberg, G. - Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

The double phase representation of Sugawara and Nambu, which assumes some simple analytical properties with respect to momentum transfer for the phase of the amplitude, is applied to the discussion of large-angle scattering. From the assumptions of Regge behavior and finite asymptotic Regge trajectories, one derives the fixed-angle scaling laws F (s,theta) approx. = s/sup ..delta..//sup F/(theta), and the extrapolation to the large-angle region of the Regge formula; the high-momentum-transfer behavior of Regge residues is thereby obtained. As a byproduct, we get the general form of the amplitude (including its phase) in the large-angle region for given values of ..delta..more »« less

Regge behavior and fixed-angle scattering

Journal Article Ellis, S.D. ; Freund, P.G.O. - Nuovo Cim., A, v. 19A, no. 4, pp. 548-569

It is shown that, if one expresses the hadronic scattering amplitude as a sum of contributions from individual quark diagrams, each of these quark diagram contributions will obey a logarithmic scaling law in the high energy fixed-angle limit. The ingredients of the proof are the linear motion of singularities in the complex angular-momentum plane and certain analyticity assumptions. The logarithmic scaling law emerges from the requirement of consistency of the behaviors of the individual quark diagram amplitude in the fixed-angle high energy regime and in the Regge regime. Each quark diagram is found to have an intrinsic scale set bymore »« less

Gauge-Invariant Scaling Model of Current Interactions with Regge Behavior and Finite Fixed-Pole Sum Rules

Journal Article Brodsky, Stanley J. ; Close, Francis E. ; Gunion, J. F. - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

A general nonperturbative model for the entire Compton amplitude which incorporates Bjorken scaling, gauge invariance, and Regge behavior is presented. We show that a covariantly regularized model based on the infinite-momentum-frame techniques of Drell, Levy, and Yan is equivalent to the manifestly covariant nonperturbative parton model of Landshoff, Polkinghorne, and Short. We also demonstrate that a general consequence of composite theories of hadrons with field-theoretic constituents which incorporates the above properties is the existence of a constant energy-independent and q ²-independent term in T ₁(ν, q ²) (a "Kronecker delta" δ _J0 term) and a J = 0 fixed polemore »« less

Relationship between electrical properties and crystallization of indium oxide thin films using ex-situ grazing-incidence wide-angle x-ray scattering

Journal Article González, G. B. ; Okasinski, J. S. ; Buchholz, D. B. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Grazing-incidence, wide-angle x-ray scattering measurements were conducted on indium oxide thin films grown on silica substrates via pulsed laser deposition. Growth temperatures (T _G) in this study ranged from -50 °C to 600 °C, in order to investigate the thermal effects on the film structure and its spatial homogeneity, as well as their relationship to electrical properties. Films grown below room temperature were amorphous, while films prepared at T _G = 25 °C and above crystallized in the cubic bixbyite structure, and their crystalline fraction increased with deposition temperature. The electrical conductivity (σ) and electrical mobility (μ) were strongly enhancedmore »« less
