Effect of color screening on heavy quarkonia Regge trajectories

Using an unquenched lattice potential to calculate the spectrum of a bottomonium-like 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.
