Abstract

The first observation of the double-charge-exchange reaction (π, π+) to discrete nuclear states is reported. The mass of C18 has been measured using the reaction O18(π, π+)C18 at T(π)=164 MeV. The reaction C12(π, π+)Be12, with known Q0=25.078(15) MeV, was used as the calibration reaction to obtain Q0=25.69(15) MeV for the reaction O18(π, π+)C18(g.s.). The mass excess of C18 is thus found to be 24.91(15) MeV.
