Abstract

The angular distributions of high-energy deuterons and proton-deuteron coincident events were measured at T_π = 65 MeV for C, Al and Cu. The angular distribution of the inclusive (π⁺, d) cross section was similar to that of the inclusive (π⁺, p?) reaction, but the ratios of the inclusive (π⁺, pd?) cross section to the inclusive (π⁺, pp) cross section had a strong angular dependence. These results support the idea that contributions from the three-nucleon absorption as well as those from the two-step process are important for the emission of high energy deuterons at T_π = 65 MeV.

Pion absorption in flight on <sup>4</sup>He
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
We have measured double and triple coincidences following π⁺ and π⁻ absorption on ⁴He at various pion energies. Differential and integrated cross sections are determined for all possible absorption channels. We study and compare the two-nucleon absorption on nucleon pairs with isospin I = 0 and I = 1. In the dNN final-state two absorption mechanisms are identified, one with only one spectator nucleon and one with phase-space behavior. The existence of a three-nucleon absorption component with a spectator nucleon is established and a four nucleon phase-space-like contribution is also identified and found to be small. The total absorption cross section is directly determined by adding the integrated cross sections of all measured reaction channels.

Charged and neutral particle spectrometer for nuclear pion and photon absorption investigations
1988, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
A two-arm spectrometer system using multiwire proportional chambers and plastic scintillators has been developed to investigate pion and photon absorption reactions on nuclei. The system is capable of positive particle identification, good solid angle and wide angular coverage with an energy resolution of 2.8% in ΔE/E. Such resolution is more than adequate to provide constraints on the reaction mechanism via missing mass and recoil momentum definitions.
Three-nucleon processes and the total pion absorption cross section in <sup>3</sup>He
1991, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Pion absorption processes involving three nucleons have been investigated in ³He with positive and negative pions of 64, 119, 162 and 206 MeV kinetic energy. The most important of these processes is characterized by a constant phase-space density and has comparable integrated cross sections for π⁺ and π⁻ with a Δ-resonance-like dependence on the pion energy. This process constitutes up to one third of the total absorption cross section. The total absorption cross section has been determined by adding up the measured cross sections for all the observed absorption channels.
