Evidence for the quasifree character of the (π±,πN) reactions onC12,Mg24, andCa40

Abstract
Cross sections for (π±,πN) reactions near the Δ(1232) resonance on C12, Mg24, and Ca40 leading to mirror levels in C11/B11, Mg23/Na23, and Ca39/K39, respectively, were measured by observing their γ decays. σnσp for the first 12 levels in C11/B11 is 1.4±0.2 for π and 11.8± 0.2 for π+. For Mg23/Na23 and Ca39/K39, the ratios are generally not as closely reciprocal as for C11 and the previously reported O15/
