Title: Physics opportunities with higher energy pion beams

Abstract

We provide a preview of the physics issues which could be addressed with intense beams of pions in the 1--2 GeV/c region. These include: the exploitation of the ({pi}{sup +}, K{sup +}) associated production reaction on proton and nuclear targets for high resolution studies of hypernuclear structure and decays, as well as {Lambda}-proton scattering, the use of pion reactions with hydrogen or deuterium targets to provide tagged {eta} beams for studies of rare decays, precision studies of baryon resonances which couple to the {pi}N system, and the exploration of pion elastic, inelastic, and charge exchange reactions above the (3,3)-resonance as a tool for the study of nuclear structure.
