Abstract
We have conducted a search for bound states of a negative pion and a n umber of neutrons (pineuts) using the E814 spectrometer. A beam of Si- 28 at a momentum of 14.6A GeV/c was used to bombard targets of Al, Cu, Sn, and Pb. We describe our experimental technique, present measured upper limits for pineut production, and discuss the significance of ou r results.
