Collective resonance in pion-nucleus scattering

  • 1. Institute for Theoretical Physics, University Erlangen-Nuernberg, 8520 Erlangen, West Germany

Description

Pion-nucleus scattering is described by the excitation of bound nucleons into the Δ resonance leading to isobaric resonances of the whole nucleus. A few broad collective resonances of different multipolarity are shown to dominate elastic and inelastic π-12C scattering. From the qualitatively good agreement with the data, we conclude that those giant isobaric resonances are a general feature of the nuclear excitation spectrum in the Δ (3, 3) energy range
