A double-pole explanation of the A2(1300) meson is shown to be consistent with recent bubble-chamber measurements of its missing-mass spectrum and of its Xi^iCi^-decaymode mass spectrum.

By correlating recent experimental results on srO and n+ photoproduction a t backward angles with results on n-p 4 9 p-at the same angles, it is found that any explanation of the three processes in terms of Regge poles must involve at least two isospin-3 trajectories. Furthermore, the two trajectories must be almost degenerate. Such a solution makes definite predictions about other processes which can be checked by experiments.
