Abstract
The complex-Regge-pole model is applied to elastic and charge-exchange scattering in the forward direction. , , and poles are assumed to dominate with both square-root and logarithmic singularity at the branch point. The Pomeranchuk trajectory is parametrized both as a real pole and as a pair of complex-conjugate poles. Various ghost-eliminating mechanisms are tested, and good fits are obtained including excellent agreement with the new charge-exchange and elastic polarization data. and are nearly exchange degenerate, but the data show no strong preference for either a real or complex Pomeranchuk trajectory or for a square-root or logarithmic branch cut.
