Possible Test of the Vector Nature of Strong Interactions

A vector theory of the interaction between baryon currents implies the presence of soft-meson radiation in high-energy processes. It is shown that perturbation theory can be used to calculate branching ratios for such radiation in the center-of-mass system. It is also shown that soft mesons are emitted independently of each other. Formulas are derived for the branching ratios. It is suggested that these formulas could be used to determine the $\omega$-baryon coupling constant, if the $\omega$ field is the field that interacts with the baryon current.
