DISSOCIATION OF MOLECULAR IONS BY ELECTRIC FIELDS (thesis-Part II)
The reactions pi /sup -/ + p yields p + p + n and pi /sup -/ + p yields p + d were investigated. The calculations are based on thirdorder perturbation theory with pseudoscalar coupling between nucleons and pions and with a phenomenological treatment of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in the final state. The final-state interactions of the antinucleon are neglected. Cross sections are given in graphical form for the reactions and for trsnsitions between eigenstates of isotopic spin. The final-state nucleon-nucleon interaction is shown to have a lnrge effect on the cross sections. The cross section for the reaction pi /sup -/ + p yields p + d is found to be relatively large. At an energy of 10 Mev abcve threshold in the center-of-momentum system the ratio of this cross section to that for pi /sup -/ + p yields p + p + n is about 5: 1. At an energy of 40 Mev above threshold this ratio hns decreased to 1: I. The total cross section for the reaction leading to the unbound final state is calculated by assuming a modified Fermi statistical model. At an energy 100 Mev above threshold, this cross section is approximately 0.1 mb. A theoretical expression for the transition amplitude is developed. (auth)
