Double pion photoproduction in nuclei

  • 1. Departamento de Fisica Teorica, Valencia (Spain)

Description

The inclusive A(γ,π+π-)X reaction is studied theoretically. A sizable enhancement of the cross section is found, in comparison with the scaling of the deuteron cross section (σd A/2). This enhancement is due to the modifications in the nuclear medium of the γN →ππN amplitude and the pion dispersion relation. The enhancement is found to be bigger than the one already observed in the (π,ππ) reaction in nuclei. ((orig.))
