Abstract

The bound-pion absorption reaction, viz. ¹²C(π⁻, NN), is studied using Hartree-Fock (HF) wave functions obtained with the unitary-model-operator approach starting with the hard-core nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction. The inequality of the energies of the two outgoing nucléons is treated exactly and calculations are done using the “1N model” for π-absorption. Other effects taken into account are: NN scattering in the final state, contributions of all excited states of ¹⁰B and ¹⁰Be with E < 5 MeV, and effects of the strong π-nucleus interaction and the finite nuclear size on the bound-π wave function. Branching ratios and angular distributions of absorption rates are in better agreement with experimental data. The correct order of magnitude of the total absorption rate is reproduced. Whatever the effects of short-range correlations present in the HF wave functions, they are not masked by the NN final-state interaction. The contribution of excited states in ¹⁰B and ¹⁰Be is found to be quite large. Absorption rates obtained with the HF and oscillator wave functions differ significantly both in size and shape.

1980, Nuclear Physics, Section A
A first kinematically complete investigation of the reaction ¹⁶O(π⁻, 2n)¹⁴N with stopped pions has been performed at the CERN SC over a wide angular range.
Measured distributions in excitation energy of the residual nucleus, recoil momentum, and angle between the two neutrons are presented. They are compared with theoretical predictions on two-hole states and with detailed calculations on the quasi-free two-nucleon absorption process.
