After a summary of some fundamental notions concerning the group velocity concept, we show how, in the field of acoustic scattering, this concept may be very useful for the interpretation of Regge trajectories. As a matter of fact, in Acoustics, it appears that the group velocity of a given surface wave is related to the frequency spacing between standing wave resonances for the same wave and also to the slope of its Regge trajectory. This same concept is useful in the interpretation of acoustic radiation. Finally, we present some remarks about the relationships between resonances, Regge trajectories and group velocity in nuclear physics and elementary particle physics
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
