Relevance of final-state nucleon-nucleon charge exchange in inclusive (. pi. ,. pi. N) reactions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The Sternheim-Silbar linear transport model for calculating the effect of final-state charge exchange of the struck nucleon in (..pi..,..pi..N) reactions has been reexamined. It is demonstrated that for /sup 12/C, the effect ranges from only 10% at low pion energies to 4% at the (3,3) resonance and plays a minor role in determining the magnitude of the inclusive cross sections. A semiclassical linear transport model is used to calculate the ..pi../sup -//..pi../sup +/ ratio for a clean, one-step nucleon knockout. Unlike the Sternheim-Silbar calculation these results are in very good agreement with intranuclear cascade model predictions.
