Spallation of Cu by. pi. /sup -/ across the T = 1/2 resonances and at high energy
Relative yields of 11 selected products (/sup 24/Na, /sup 43,44,46,47,48/Sc, /sup 55,56,57,58,60/Co) have been measured for the interaction of 0.6- and 0.9-GeV negative pions with Cu. In addition, the yields of /sup 24/Na and /sup 58/Co from Cu have been measured for 12-GeV ..pi../sup -/. Results at the two lower energies which correspond to the first two isospin T = 1/2 pion-nucleon resonances are compared with earlier studies of Cu spallation by ..pi../sup -/ at energies across the first T = 3/2 resonance, i.e., 50 to 350 MeV. The 12-GeV ..pi../sup -/ results are compared with similar investigations in which both energetic protons and heavy ions were used. For E/sub ..pi../ > or = 0.5 GeV no evidence of strong resonance effects can be found in the pattern of the spallation yields. As the pion energy is raised a smooth trend of enhanced yields of deep spallation products to near-target yields closely parallels the same trend observed for both high-energy proton and heavy-ion spallation of Cu. These results indicate that at high energy, pi-mesic spallation exhibits the same features of limiting fragmentation and factorization of the isotopic yields that have been observed previously in hadron induced spallation.
