Low-energy pion production with 800 MeV/N /sup 20/Ne

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Doubly differential cross sections for production of positive pions (20 MeV < or = T/sup Lab//sub ..pi../ < or = 100 MeV) in bombardment of /sup 20/Ne on NaF, Cu and Pb targets at 800 MeV/N have been measured with a range telescope. The results showed that the angular distribution of low-energy pions in the nucleon-nucleon center of mass (T/sup c.m.//sub ..pi../ < or = 50 MeV) was isotropic, even 90/sup 0/ peaking at approx.15 MeV c.m. The intermediate-energy pions (50 < or = T/sup c.m.//sub ..pi../ < or = 300 MeV) were forward and backward peaked, reflecting the individual nucleon-nucleon process in the isobar model of production. The observed cross sections were shown to be generally reproduced by an incoherent superposition of the experimental (p + nucleus) cross sections.
