R. Holzmann et al., PION REABSORPTION IN HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS INTERPRETED IN TERMS OF THEDELTA-CAPTURE PROCESS, Physics letters. Section B, 366(1-4), 1996, pp. 63-68
We have measured energy-differential cross sections for pi(0) producti
on in Ar-36 + (197)AU collisions at 95 MeV/u. From an analysis of spec
tral features due to pion final-state interactions we have estimated t
he cross section of the capture process Delta + N --> N + N in the cen
ter-of-mass energy range root s similar or equal to 2.05-2.25 GeV. Wit
hin the frame of BUU calculations, our results support the extension o
f the detailed-balance principle to broad-width resonances.
