Using an unquenched lattice potential to calculate the spectrum of a bottomoniumlike system, we demonstrate numerically that the effect of pair creation is to produce termination of the real part of hadronic Regge trajectories, in contrast to the Veneziano model and the vast majority of phenomenological generalizations. Termination of the real part of Regge trajectories may have significant experimental consequences.It is well known that hadrons populate near-linear Regge trajectories; i.e., the orbital momentum ℓ of the state is proportional to the square of its mass: ℓ = α ′ M 2 (ℓ) + α(0), where the slope α ′ depends weakly (for light (u, d, s) quarks) on the flavor content of the states lying on the corresponding trajectory. This is based on the knowledge of the lowest *
