AN EXPERIMENT ON THE RADIATIVE CAPTURE IN FLIGHT OF PIONS IN HYDROGEN AND A MEASUREMENT OF THE $pi$$sup -$ - $pi$$sup 0$ MASS DIFFERENCE

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:4683890
Interest in and problems connected with the measurement of the cross section for the radiative capture in flight ( pi /sup -/ + p carbon materia gamma + n) are discussed, and equipment used in the detection of photons and neutrons is examined. The time-offlight arrangement used to measure the differential cross section for 72 Mev pi /sup -/ as 70 e due to uraniu 7 mu b/ sr is explained, and methods for measuring the pi /sup -/- pi /sup 0/ mass difference are reviewed. Another time-of-flight experiment yielded a value of (9.01 e due to uraniu 0.08) electron masses for this difference. (D.C.W.)
