We present the analysis of Ref. [1] of the radial (n) and angular-momentum (J) Regge trajectories for all light-quark meson states listed in the Particle Data Tables. The parameters of the trajectories are obtained with linear regression, with weight of each resonance inversely proportional to its half-width squared, (Γ/2)2. The joint analysis in the (n, J, M2) Regge plane indicates, at the 4.5 standard deviation level, that the slopes in n are larger from the slopes in J. Thus no strict universality of slopes occurs in the light non-strange meson sector. We also extend our analysis to the kaon sector.
