Abstract

Electromagnetic corrections to the ratio between charged and uncharged pions produced along with either a triton or helium-3 from 600-Mev protons incident on deuterium have been estimated. It was found that the main correction comes from the difference in triton and helium-3 wave functions. It was not found possible to correct unambiguously for the effects of mass difference between charged and uncharged pions. An enhancement of around 10% of positive pions was obtained with an estimated uncertainty of ±3%. The result agrees with experiments at CERN.
