Direct (π+,pd) cross sections for light nuclei

The angular distributions of the inclusive (${\pi }^{+}$,pd) cross section were measured for ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$, ${}_{}{}^7{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$, and C at $T_{\pi }$=70, 130, and 165 MeV over a wide angular range. They were found very similar to that of the π${+}^3$H${(}^3$He)→N+d reaction at the low-momentum-transfer region, especially for Li isotopes. However, at the higher-momentum-transfer region, slight peaks which were not expected in the π${+}^3$H${(}^3$He)→N+d were observed.
