Measurement ofπpππ+n

Abstract: d 2 a/d£l dT for 7r + mesons produced in Tt'p-^ir'ir+n was measured at seven incident energies between 203 and 357 MeV and the integrated reaction cross section was calculated. The matrix element, when extrapolated to threshold and compared with soft-pion calculations, determined the chiral-symmetry-breaking parameter 4 = 0.05 ±0.26, which is consistent with the Weinberg Lagrangian. The large hard-pion contributions at 203 MeV demonstrated the absolute necessity for comparing at threshold.

“…served the isospin-symmetric reaction (n, rr mr+ ) on ' C at 292 MeV and obtained an integrated cross section of 978+109 pb. If one assumes that the (vr, 2m } cross section in nuclei has the same energy dependence as that for the p (m, m m+ )n process [36,45] and that it scales approximately with an effective number of nucleons (N,ft), [44] then one can estimate from these measurements the contribution of the (m, 2m) process to the DCX cross sections measured in the present experiment. Unfortunately, the TRIUMF and PSI results are not mutually consistent.…”

“…For the reaction (m, n. +) on ' 0, pion-induced pion production on the hydrogen in the water target contributed to the apparent DCX yield. At 240 MeV the integrated cross section for the n +p~m ++ vr +n reaction [36,45] is about 100 pb, which increased the apparent DCX yield by 3.5%. At lower energies this background reaction becomes insignificant (the threshold energy is 172 MeV).…”
