The (pi(+), pi(-)) reaction on the isoscalar, doubly magic nuclei O-16
and Ca-40 has been measured in the energy range T-pi = 45-90 MeV. The
forward angle cross sections of the ground state transitions (GST) sh
ow a very pronounced resonancelike energy dependence. The observed ene
rgy and angle dependences are well described by the recent hypothesis
of the formation of a pi NN resonance in the course of the double char
ge exchange process. The deduced spreading widths are in accordance wi
th estimates of the d' collision damping in the nuclear medium. In the
reaction on O-16 in addition to the GST the transition to a 0(+) stat
e at E-x = 2.1(2) MeV in Ne-16 has been-observed, which is interpreted
as the quadruple isobaric analog state (QIAS) of the 0(2)(+) state in
C-16 at E-x = 3.03 MeV.
