Abstract

A nonrelativistic three-body treatment in the Born approximation is used for the final-state nucleon-nucleon scattering in the field of the residual nucleus, following the absorption of a bound pion in ${}^{12}C$ and ${}^{16}O$ . It is shown that the $NN$ energy distributions represent a very sensitive probe of the nuclear two-body force and of the stronger optical potential which serves to descibe multiple-scattering effects.
