The role of 2p-shell admixture in the ground-state wave function of C-
13 is studied in the case of reactions such as C-13 (e,e) C-13, C-13(p
i+,pi0)N-13g.s., and C-13(p,n) N-13g.s. A comparison is made between m
icroscopic ground-state wave functions elaborated in the (0+2) homegaB
AR basis and the phenomenological 1p-shell model. The best agreement w
ith the data for electromagnetic form factors, cross sections, and asy
mmetries is achieved using a combination of the microscopic and the ph
enomenological description. At low pion energies a large suppression o
f differential cross section is observed for the C-13(pi+,pi0)N-13g.s.
reaction when 2hkomegaBAR configurations are taken into account.
