SU(3) Symmetry Tests for Regge Residues

Abstract
Six independent combinations of cross-section data involving meson-nucleon charge-exchange amplitudes at the forward direction are analyzed in terms of ρ (JP=1, IG=1+) and A (JP=2+, IG=1) Regge-exchange model. SU(3) tests for the ratios of the Regge-pole residues give γρK¯Kγρππ=1.12±0.12 and γAK¯KγAπη=1.07±0.15, consistent with exact symmetry values of 1.
