The new results on the inclusive double charge exchange (DCX) reaction
O-16(pi(-), pi(+))X at incident kinetic energy T-o = 0.75 and 1.15 Ge
V are presented. The data were taken without using Cherenkov counters.
The new DCX cross sections agree well with the old ones. Both the val
ues are about an order of magnitude larger than the theoretical cross
section calculated for the standard sequential mechanism. Two other ap
proaches which seem to explain the discrepancy are also briefly review
ed.
