T. Yamazaki et al., EFFECTIVE PION MASS IN THE NUCLEAR MEDIUM DEDUCED FROM DEEPLY BOUND PIONIC STATES IN PB-207, Physics letters. Section B, 418(3-4), 1998, pp. 246-251
Deeply bound Is states of pi(-) as well as the 2p states in Pb-207 wer
e identified in the Pb-208(d,He-3) reaction at 600 MeV. The binding en
ergies of pi(-) in Pb-207 have been determined as B-pi(2p) = 5.31 +/-
0.09 MeV and B-pi(1s) = 7.1 +/- 0.2 MeV by comparing the observed Q-va
lue spectrum with theory. These values indicate Chat the effective pi(
-) mass increases by 19.3 +/- 2.7 MeV at the center of the Pb-207 nucl
