Description

Charge exchange reactions at high energies are examined. Such reactions can in principle be tagged in pp-collisions by their topology of asymmetric forward charges of Z_tot=0 and Z_tot=2. The low energy data of the reaction pp \rightarrow n \Delta^{++} are reviewed, and extrapolated to LHC and FCC energies. The charge exchange reaction induced by W^{+},W^{-}-exchange is presented. The prospects of identifying charge exchange reactions at the LHC and FCC colliders are discussed.
