Some consequences of exchange degeneracy and the triple-Regge-hypothesis

We extract the proton-Reggeised rho total cross-section from inclusive data for K⁺ + p → K⁰ + (anything) in the triple-Regge domain and find that it is of the same order as physical meson-proton cross-sections for a range of Reggeon mass. We also relate other processes such as pp→pX and K⁺p→K⁺X to K⁺p→K⁰X, and get good agreement with data. We suggest methods for calculating baryon exchange processes as well.
