Abstract
It is shown that the Pomeron could be regarded as a Reggeized Tensor Glueba ll with a trajectory of alpha(P)(t) = 1.08 + 0.2GeV(-2)t. Under this theory , the total cross section measured for pp elastic scattering at high energi es is reproduced successfully. The best fits to experimental data lead to a Gamma(xi-->p (p) over bar) = 9 +/- 3MeV and Gamma(xi) > 50MeV, and J = 4 f or spin of the tensor glueball m(xi)(2230) is precluded.
