Abstract

Linear combinations of πN differential cross sections and polarizations are used to isolate the Iu=12 and Iu=32 exchange amplitudes directly from data. For Iu=12 exchange the cross section has a zero at u=0.15 (GeV/c)2 and the polarization becomes large and negative for |u|>0.25 (GeV/c)2. Our phenomenological analysis indicates that in the dip region the Iu=12 amplitude is inconsistent with appreciable secondary trajectories or absorptive corrections. For Iu=32 exchange we infer that the imaginary s-channel helicity-flip amplitude has a zero near u=0.15 (GeV/c)2, consistent with peripherality for Δ exchange. We also derive a sum rule relating the πN differential cross sections at 180° to the Regge-trajectory difference αΔαN.
