Pion-helium scattering above the (3,3) resonance

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Differential cross sections are reported for ..pi../sup +/+/sup 3,4/He elastic scattering at 260, 295, and 310 MeV and ..pi../sup -/+/sup 3,4/He at 295 MeV. The angular distributions )except for ..pi../sup -/+/sup 3/He) confirm the fixed angle (thetaapprox. =75/sup 0/) minimum seen at lower energies (caused by the (3,3) ..pi..+N resonance dominance) and show a deep minimum at thetaapprox. =110/sup 0/. Comparisons are made to ..pi..+d and the current discussion of pion excitation of intermediate dibaryon and ..delta..N states.
