Abstract
We propose that the Pomeron is a Regge trajectory of tensor glueballs with the lightest member having a mass in the 2.2 GeV region and the quantum numbers I G J PC = 0 + 2 ++ . By using the well-established high-energy proton-proton elastic scattering differential cross sections, we show that our conjecture is fully consistent with the observed ξ production data.
