Pion Production and the Second Pion-Nucleon Resonance
- Univ. of Rochester, NY (United States)
A model for the reaction π + N → 2π + N at low energies, which includes pion-pion interaction and final state interactions in the (3,3) state, is discussed. The theory involves two parameters which are related to the S-wave and P-wave π - π scattering lengths. These parameters are chosen from a fit to the total cross section for π-+ p → π- + π+ + n. Meson production is predicted to be primarily in the T = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ state. Predictions are made for the total cross sections of the various channels (e,g. π++ p → π+ + π+ + n, etc.) in the energy range from threshold to approximately 500 Mev, in good agreement with experiments. Angular distributions are predicted which are in qualitative agreement with the π+ angular distribution for π-+ p → π- + π+ + n. From these data it is suggested that S wave π-π scattering length has opposite sign to P wave scattering length. A conjecture concerning rapidly rising inelastic cross sections in a single partial wave is made to connect the large T = $$\frac{1}{2}$$, D$$\frac{3}{2}$$ production cross sections with the T = $$\frac{1}{2}$$, D$$\frac{3}{2}$$ pion-nucleon resonance. The π-π scattering length found are a0 = -0.290μ-1, a1 = 0.122μ-1 and $$\frac{a_2}{a_0}$$ = $$\frac{2}{5}$$ by hypothesis.
