Abstract
We examine the polarization properties exhibited by ρ0's and ω0's in the reactions π-+p→ρ0+X0 and π-+p→ω0+charged particles at 15 GeV/c. ρ0 production is analyzed in the framework of the triple Regge model. The trajectory coupled to the π-ρ0 is α(t)=(-0.12±0.07)+(0.78±0.21)t in good agreement with the π trajectory. The properties of the system recoiling against the ρ0 (off-shell ``π-''p reaction) are very similar to those of the final states of on-shell π-p reactions at the same center-of-mass energy.
