Regge trajectories in light and heavy mesons: the pattern of appearances and possible dynamical explanations

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2020-09-14 v1

Abstract

I briefly review the Regge approach to the hadron spectrum and advocate a dynamical emergence of principal quantum number in the known spectrum of light non-strange mesons. Further it is shown how the linear radial trajectories with universal slope can be extended to heavy quarkonia and a qualitative string interpretation is given. After that I discuss a recently proposed non-string model leading to a natural appearance of linear Regge trajectories and explaining many mass relations.
