Hadron Spectroscopy in Regge Phenomenology

Abstract

We show that linear Regge trajectories for mesons and baryons, and the cubic mass spectrum associated with them, determine expressions for the hadron masses in terms of the universal Regge slope \alpha' alone. The ground state hadron masses as calculated from these expressions are in excellent agreement with experiment for \alpha'=0.85 GeV^{-2}.
