Quantization Conditions for Regge Intercepts and Hadron Masses

Abstract
We show that a reasonable generalization of the beta-function formula to the reaction π+AB+C, combined with Adler's self-consistency condition, implies that trajectories of opposite "normality" that can be connected by pion emission must have the same slope, and that their intercepts must differ by a half-odd integer. The agreement with experiment seems very good.
