Analyzing power for. pi. /sup -/p charge exchange and a test of isospin invariance up to eta threshold

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The analyzing power for ..pi../sup -/p..--> pi../sup 0/n has been measured at five incident momenta from 547 to 687 MeV/c using a transversely polarized target. Data were obtained with scintillation counters at 10 angles simultaneously covering the range -0.9 less than or equal to costheta/sub c.m.//sup ..pi../ less than or equal to 0.9. Our results and those of Kim et al. are used for a model-independent test of isospin invariance which is based on the triangle inequalities applied to the transversity-up as well as the transversity-down cross sections. No evidence is found for isospin violation.
