We have determined the coherent KS regeneration amplitudes on various nuclei, from 20 to 140 GeV/c, using a particularly systematics-free technique. Our results are well represented by |(f−f¯)k|=2.23A0.758p−0.614 mb. This p dependence corresponds to an effective "nuclear" intercept ``αω(0)''=0.386±0.009, whereas the elementary value is αω(0)=0.44±0.01. Comparisons are made with data below 25 GeV/c, and with optical-model predictions. The latter work only if "αω(0)" is postulated to hold for the elementary amplitudes.

A measurement of the coherent regeneration amplitude in carbon in the energy range 30-130 GeV is presented. The results are consistent with the dominance of this process by ω exchange, and a precise value of the intercept of the ω trajectory is obtained: αω(0)=0.390±0.014.
