Inelastic pion double charge exchange on /sup 16/O at 240 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The deep-inelastic double-charge-exchange reaction /sup 16/O(..pi../sup +/,..pi../sup -/) has been measured at 50/sup 0/, 85/sup 0/, and 130/sup 0/ with 240-MeV incident pions. The doubly differential cross section is peaked at low outgoing pion energies, as is expected from a double-scattering process, and is nearly isotropic. The integrated cross section is 5.8 +- 0.9 mb. The shape of the differential cross section suggests that the low-energy tail in /sup 16/O(..pi../sup +/,..pi../sup +prime/) scattering at the same energy also arises from double scattering.
