Regge cuts and charge-exchange reactions in the triple-Regge region

We estimate th ė \.{e}{} Regge-cut contribution to the inclusive reactions π^-p→π⁰X, π^-p→ηX, and K^-p→K̄⁰X in the triple-Regge region. We find that the magnitude of the cut is less than about one-half that of triple-Reggepole contribution near t=-0.5 (GeV/c)². We discuss the implications of this for the interpretation of the t dependence of these reactions.
