Observation of Regge-Pole Effects in ρ0Δ++ and ω0Δ++ Production at 3.7 GeVc

Abstract
Evidence is presented for zeros in the π-exchange contribution to ρ0Δ++ and in the ρ-exchange contribution to ω0Δ++ production. The position of the π-exchange zero is consistent with a π trajectory with απ(0)1.2 (GeVc)2. Evidence is also presented suggesting that the A2 chooses the Gell-Mann mechanism (nonsense choosing). A model of π exchange with exact πB exchange degeneracy is found to describe the data quantitatively.
