Abstract
We have measured the absorption cross section for positive pions in carbon at four incident energies between 91 and 143 MeV. A detector which was sensitive to the total energy deposited in the target was used to identify pion absorption events. The cross section determined from these measurements rises slowly with increasing energy, supporting some of the recent theoretical predictions in this energy region.
