Description

Results of the first measurement if the excitation function of the cross section d sigma/dΩ for the pion double charge exchange reaction across the (3,3) π-nucleon resonance are reported. Data from the reaction 18O(π+,π-)18 Ne to the double isobaric analog state at an angle of 50 are presented which show strong structure as a function of pion energy, in contrast to the previous limited data. The measurements were made with the EPICS facility at LAMPF which was modified to allow for data-taking at small angles. (orig.)
