2. Experimentally, the spectrum is essentially exponential up to about 2 GeV beyond which it is very difficult to resolve individual hadron resonances. It is not possible given the quality of the data to detetmine accurately either the Hagedorn temperature or the power law prefactor to the exponential. For a recent analysis of the hadronc spectrum, see. Broniowski W., Florkowski W., and Glozman L.Ya. Phys. Rev. D 70 (2004) 117503
3. c based on a numerical treatment of a transverse lattice using a Hamiltonian approach in a light cone formalism also finds evidence for the exponentially growing spectrum proposed by Hagedorn. Again, given the quality of the data it is not possible to detetmine accurately either the Hagedorn temperature or the power law prefactor to the exponential. See. Dalley S., and van de Sande B.
