Factorization and Constraints in Regge-Pole Theory

Abstract
The behavior near zero momentum transfer of the Regge residues for a two-particle reaction is determined by means of analyticity and factorization. It is shown that, at least in all cases of present interest, the solution obtained satisfies the kinematical constraints provided that a classification and certain relations between the trajectories involved (identical to those obtained by group-theoretical methods) are imposed.
