Pion and Nucleon Dissociation in $$\pi^- p \to \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^- p$$ at 205 GeV/c

Journal Article · · Phys.Lett.B
In a 48 000-picture exposure of the Fermilab 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber to a 205 GeV/ c π - beam, we have measured 169 events of the reaction, π - p → π - π + π - p, with a cross section of 635 ± 61 μ b. This reaction proceeds almost entirely via low mass π - → 3 π and p → p ππ dissociation. Factorization is satisfied for p → pππ dissociation in πp and pp interactions.
