Measurements of the total cross section differences a-j.(^Ca)-a^C^^Ca) and o-pC^^Ca) -(TTi^^Cd) are reported for positive and negative pions. Optical-model calculations are used to extract values of the rms neutron radius difference for each isotope pair. For ^Ca-^^Ca the deduced radius difference agrees with the results of recent cK-particle and proton scattering experiments but is smaller than values predicted from Hartree-Fock calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
