J-plane structure of the 'cylinder'; slope and intercept of the bare pomeron

An integral equation is derived and investigated for the 'cylinder' with full t-dependence. In contrast to the pure pole planar model, the 'cylinder' contains, in addition to the bare pomeron pole, also a Reggeon-Reggeon cut. The strongly correlated slope and intercept of the bare pomeron have the correct observed values. Brief comments are made on the concept of 'asymptotic planarity'. (Auth.)
