Abstract

The energy spectra of positive pions between 23 and 122 MeV produced by protons of 300 to 400 MeV on copper have been measured at 90° in the laboratory frame. A surprisingly narrow structure (FWHM ⪅ 10 MeV) is observed for low energy pions at T_p^lab=350 MeV.

Threshold behaviour of the π+π- invariant mass in nuclei

We present π⁺π⁻ invariant-mass distributions between 300 and 380 MeV for the ²H, ⁴He, ¹⁶O, $^{208} Pb (π^{+}, π^{+} π^{−})$ reaction at an incident π⁺ energy of 280 MeV. A prominent feature is the shift of their maximum downward to the 2m_π threshold as A increases. This behaviour finds a qualitative explanation in the framework of a model that investigates the modification of the strength function for an interacting (ππ)_{I = L = 0} system embedded in the nuclear medium. Also, the π⁺π⁻ invariant-mass cross sections are compared with the predictions of an A(π⁺, π⁺π⁻) model that uses a microscopical approach for the elementary process of pion production, πN → ππ N. Four-fold differential cross sections as a function of the energy of outgoing π⁺ and p, and missing-mass distributions for the A(π⁺, pπ⁻) reaction are also presented for some of the examined nuclei. The experimental results are discussed within the framework of the two available models.

Production and decay of Δ isobars in nuclei

New experimental data on Δ isobar production in pion single charge exchange reaction are discussed. The structure observed in the cross section of pion production by proton collision with nuclei at 350 MeV is explained as narrow resonance with a spin and parity 2+ and a width of about 7 Mev. This resonance can be interpreted as the excitation of ΔΔ state in nucleus with subsequent two pion decay.
