High-Energy Photoproduction Branching Ratios in the Regge-Pole Model

Abstract
Photoproduction of pseudoscalar, vector, and tensor mesons at high energies is formulated in a Reggepole model incorporating SU(3) symmetry. The exchanged Regge poles are the vector and tensor trajectories satisfying broken SU(3) and unbroken SU(3) couplings with the same classification as given previously. From this formalism simple branching ratios are predicted which can be tested with future experimental results.
