Abstract

We have studied particle emission following $π^{+}$ absorption on ${}^{6}{Li}$ at $T_{π}$ =150 MeV by using a large-solid-angle detector. We find an absorption cross section leading to two or more energetic protons in the final state to be 98±15 mb. We find that only about 65 mb can be explained as quasideuteron absorption.
