Excitation functions of the /sup 127/I(. pi. ,. pi. xn) reactions in the region of the (3,3) resonance

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Excitation functions have been determined for the formation of ten iodine nuclides (/sup 117/I-- /sup 126/I) in the interaction of 60--350 MeV ..pi../sup +/ and ..pi../sup -/ with /sup 127/I. The contribution of various reaction mechanisms has been estimated from the systematic features of the excitation functions and isotopic yield distributions with the aid of cross sections obtained for the production of various isobaric xenon nuclides, cross-section results for 500 MeV proton bombardment of /sup 127/I, and comparison with Monte Carlo cascade-evaporation calculations. It is found that, with varying importance, mechanisms involving direct neutron knockout, pion inelastic scattering plus evaporation, pion absorption, and pion charge exchange contribute to the observed yields.
