Negative pion capture in mercury, gold and platinum nuclei

Description

The results of the irradiation of natural mercury, gold and platinum targets with stopped negative pions are reported. The product nuclei distributions indicate that the (π-, xn) reaction dominates over reactions with charged particle emission. The neutron multiplicity after pion capture can be as large as x=16. Furthermore, the preferential population of high-spin isomeric states is observed. The extracted isomeric ratios are compared with those from other reactions. (Auth.)
