Jd. Johnson et al., SEARCH FOR AN ETA-BOUND STATE IN PION DOUBLE CHARGE-EXCHANGE ON O-18, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 47(6), 1993, pp. 2571-2573
The search for an eta bound state in the double charge exchange (DCX)
reaction to the double isobaric analog state (DIAS) 180(pi+,pi-)Ne-18(
DIAS) has been carried out at LAMPF using the P3 channel and the LAS s
pectrometer. An excitation function for this reaction was measured for
energies ranging from 350 to 440 MeV and for momentum transfers of 0,
105, and 210 MeV/c. The measured cross sections tend to agree with pr
evious results for DCX on 0-18. The measured excitation function shows
some evidence for structure near the eta production threshold.
