Double charge exchange to the double isobaric analog state atTπ∼292 MeV

Measurements of cross sections for the (${\pi }^{+}$,${\pi }^{\mathrm{-}}$) reaction to the double isobaric analog state on targets of ${}_{}{}^{30}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}$, ${}_{}{}^{34}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{S}$, ${}_{}{}^{44}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}$, ${}_{}{}^{50}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$, ${}_{}{}^{51}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{V}$, ${}_{}{}^{52}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cr}$, and ${}_{}{}^{58}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ni}$ at ${\theta }_{\mathrm{lab}=5\mathrm{}}$° and an incident pion kinetic energy of ∼292 MeV are presented. We also present limits for the cross section to the residual ground state for the four T>1 targets. The data are compared with a phenomenological two-amplitude model and with a two-amplitude model that uses seniority-zero shell-model wave functions. The latter model provides expressions for both ground state and double isobaric analog state cross sections.
