Pion double charge exchange on Ca isotopes

Abstract
A simple two-amplitude model introduced to relate pion double charge exchange on O16 and O18 is used to predict cross sections for Ca4248, based solely on experimental data for Ca40 and simple predictions for double isobaric analog transitions. The presence of the "forbidden" core component increases the expected Ca42 cross sections by a factor of 6 above the double isobaric analog transition prediction and changes the expected Ca48/Ca42 ratio by a factor of 4.5.
