Title: Giant dipole resonances built on isobaric analog states in pion double charge exchange

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Giant resonances were observed in (..pi../sup +/,..pi../sup -/) double charge exchange (at T/sub ..pi../ = 292 MeV) on /sup 56/Fe, /sup 80/Se, and /sup 208/Pb at excitation energies of 28.5, 34.6, and 43.6 MeV, respectively. An angular distribution for /sup 56/Fe was measured and observed to have a dipole shape. The variation of excitation energy above the double isobaric analog state is consistent with an A/sup -1/3/ dependence, as expected for giant dipole resonances built on the isobaric analog states. The /sup 56/Fe angular distribution agrees well with a coupled-channels impulse-approximation calculation in which sequential single charge exchange through the isobaric analog to the giant dipole resonance is evaluated.
