Title: Contribution of the second kind of meson exchange current to pion-nucleus double-charge-exchange reactions /sup 18/O(. pi. /sup +/,. pi. /sup -/) /sup 18/N/sub e//sub (g. s)/ and /sup 14/C(. pi. /sup +/,. pi. /sup -/)/sup 14/O/sub g. s. /

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Based on the Lagrangian of Olsson and Turner, contributions of the second kind of meson exchange current to pion-nucleus double-charge-exchange reactions /sup 18/O(..pi../sup +/,..pi../sup -/)/sup 18/N/sub e//sub (g.s))/ and /sup 14/C(..pi../sup +/,..pi../sup -/)/sup 14/O/sub g.s./ have been evaluated. The calculated results show that the second kind of meson exchange current makes the forward theoretical cross section closer to the experimental data but the long-standing puzzling problem of the location of the minimum of the angular distribution at the energy of 164 MeV has not been solved.
