Title: Tensor polarization in pion-deuteron elastic scattering

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5473753· OSTI ID:5473753

The angular dependence of the tensor polarization t/sub 20//sup lab/ of recoiling deuterons in ..pi..-d elastic scattering was measured as a function of incident pion energy in the range 134 to 256 MeV. No evidence was found for rapid energy or angular dependences in t/sub 20//sup lab/. The results agree most favorably with theoretical calculations in which the P/sub 11/ ..pi..-N amplitude has been removed altogether. This agreement is consistent with a small effect of pion absorption on the elastic channel. 14 references.
