Excitation functions of theI127(π±, πN)I126reactions in the vicinity of the (3,3) resonance

Abstract
Excitations functions for the formation of I126 from I127 have been determined with 60-350 MeV π+ and π−. The contributions of both direct nucleon knockout and pion inelastic scattering followed by neutron evaporation are visible in the excitation functions. The results are compared with a cascade-evaporation calculation, the Sternheim-Silbar nucleon charge exchange models, and the semiclassical model of Ohkubo and Porile.
