We give a prescription for calculating all quark diagrams associated with any given particle diagram. The amplitude of a multi-Regge quark diagram is shown to be equal to that term of the full amplitude which has discontinuities in the planar variables. Although this result holds only when exchange degeneracy is assumed, our prescription can also be used in the absence of exchange degeneracy. Some peculiarities related to the charge-conjugation structure of quark diagrams are discussed.
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.
