  • Abstract
    Evidence is presented that the Pomeron acts as a non-conserved vector current. A study has been made of the azimuthal angle φ, which is defined as the angle between the pT vectors of the two outgoing protons, in the reaction pp→pp(X0) for those resonances (X0) which are compatible with being produced by double Pomeron exchange. These distributions have been compared with a model which describes the Pomeron as a non-conserved vector current and a qualitative agreement is found. In addition, when one of the particles exchanged is known to have spin 0, namely π–Pomeron exchange, the φ distribution is flat.
