Nuclear absorption of low energy pions and the pion-nucleus optical potential

Abstract

The energy dependence of the optical model parameters for low energy, 0-50 MeV, pions was determined by a compromise fit to pionic atoms, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ elastic scattering, and ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$ absorption measurements.NUCLEAR REACTIONS Pion-nucleus optical potential, elastic scattering and absorption 0-50 MeV on various targets.
