Summary
By the use of gauge-invariant couplings the formalism of covariant Reggeization is extended to deal with processes involving photons. Particular attention is paid to pion photoproduction, where Reggeized pion and nucleon exchange are shown to connect smoothly on to the elementary exchanges both from the form of the vertex couplings and form their respective contributions to the invariant amplitudes. In the latter approach the double-pole structure of the Coulomb Born terms is correctly reproduced. Pion Compton scattering is also studied as an archetypal two-photon process: here the problem of Pomeron Reggeization is similarly resolved. The Froissart-Gribov continuation is briefly discussed, as is the forward peak in π+ photoproduction.
Riassunto
Usando gli accoppiamenti di invarianti di gauge si estende il formalismo della reggeizzazione covariante a trattare processi che coinvolgono i fotoni. Si dedica particolare attenzione alla fotoproduzione dei pioni, dimostrando che gli scambi reggeizzati del pione e del nucleone si raccordano agli scambi elementari sia per la forma degli accoppiamenti di vertice sia pei loro rispettivi contributi alle ampiezze invarianti. In quest'ultimo approccio si riproduce correttamente la struttura a poli doppi dei termini di Born coulombiani. Si studia anche lo scattering Compton del pione come un processo archetipo a due fotoni: in questo caso si risolve in modo analogo il problema della reggeizzazione del pomerone. Si discute brevemente la continuazione di Froissart-Gribov, come pure si discute il picco in avanti nella fotoproduzione del π+.
Резюме
Используя калибровочно инвариантные связи, формлизм ковариантной реджеизации распространяется, чтобы рассмотреть процессы, включающие фотоны. Особенное внимание уделяется фоторождению пионов, где, как показывается, реджеизованный пионный и нуклонный обмен связаны плавно с элементарными обменами и из формы вершинных связей и из их сооттветствующих вкладов в инвариантные амплитуды. В последнем подходе корректно воспроизводится структура двойных полюсов кулоновских борновских членов. Также исследуется комптоновское рассеяние пионов, как архитипичный двух-фотонный процесс: где проблема реджеизации Померона разрешается аналогично. Вкратце обсуждается продолжение Фройссарта-Грибова, которое представляет пик вперед в π+ фоторождении.
