We have evaluated the mechanism analogous to pion absorption which contributes to the pion double-charge-exchange amplitude leading to double isobar analog states. We find appreciable corrections at low energies around T =50 MeV. Around the resonance region the corrections are small and the most visible effect is a small shift of the minimum to smaller angles, which is however not big enough to reproduce the experimental data.PACS number(s): 25.80.Gn
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.
