Observation of analogs of the giant-dipole resonance in pion single charge exchange on /sup 40/Ca

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The pion single-charge-exchange reactions /sup 40/Ca(..pi../sup + -/,..pi../sup 0/) were measured at 164 MeV in the angular range 0/sup 0/ to 30/sup 0/. The spectra show pronounced peaks at energies corresponding to the analog states of the isovector electric dipole resonance in /sup 40/Ca. The maximum (..pi../sup -/,..pi../sup 0/) cross section is 1.69 +- 0.24 times the (..pi../sup +/,..pi../sup 0/) cross section. The measured angular distribution shapes and magnitudes are quite well described by distorted-wave impulse-approximation calculations based on the Goldhaber-Teller transition density.
