Pion-deuteron elastic scattering for momenta from 408 to 600 MeV/c

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The differential cross section for elastic scattering of pions from deuterium has been measured for momenta of 408, 441, 539, and 600 MeV/c. The measurements confirm the energy dependence of a pronounced minimum around 100/sup 0/, previously observed with lower-precision experiments. Our results are compared to calculations including effects of excitation of dibaryon resonances in the deuteron.
