Positive-pion double-charge-exchange reaction: experiments on the isotopic pairs oxygen-16,18 and magnesium-24,26

Description

The (π+,π-) double-exchange (DCX) reaction has been performed on targets of T = 0,1 isospin (and isotopic) pairs 1618O and 2426Mg. Energy excitation functions of dsigma/dΩ, across the (3,3) π-N resonance, are presented for transitions to double-isobaric analog state (DIAS) and non-DIAS ground-state residual nuclei. Angular distributions in the region of 50 to 330 are presented for the DIAS from the T - 1 nuclei. The simularities and differences of DIAS and non-DIAS distributions are discussed in relation to reaction-mechanism and nuclear-structure effects. Also, a simple, two-amplitude model for the 18O excitation function, consistent with the data, is presented. The utility of DCX in nuclear mass measurements is discussed, with some examples
