Spectrum and Regge trajectories in QCD

Abstract

Starting in the 1960s, an active group of physicists under the guidance of Prof. K.A. Ter-Martirosyan began creating the theory of high-energy processes in QCD. From the beginning, the key element of this theory is the notion of Regge trajectories and, in particular, of the Pomeron trajectory, which have been introduced phenomenologically. In this talk, I review the problem of the spectrum and Regge trajectories as it can be derived from nonperturbative QCD dynamics.
