Single pion production in π-p interactions at 2.75 GeV/c

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

A liquid hydrogen bubble chamber investigation of πp interactions has been carried out at a momentum of 2.75 GeV/c. 10645 two-prong events have been measured and the partial cross-sections are: σel=(7.2±0.1) mb, σ π0=(2.8±0.1) mb, σπ π+ n=(3.9±0.1) mb. In any state of charge, isobar production is very small. ππ mass spectra show a dominant ρ resonance centered at 750 MeV with a full width at half maximum of ⋍130 MeV (σϱ =0.75 mb, σϱ 0=1.1 mb; forΔ 2⩽8µ2, (σϱ ϱ 0=1/2). There is a slight indication of the presence of the f0f 0⩽0.1 mb). Usual tests of the one-pion-exchange mechanism are attempted for the ρ resonances. The ππ elastic cross-section and angular distribution are investigated as a function of the π incident energy. Finally, the narrow peak in the (ππ+) mass spectrum in the region of 780 MeV is discussed.

Riassunto

Con la camera a bolle ad idrogeno liquido si è eseguito uno studio delle interazioni πp ad un impulso di 2.75 GeV/c. Si sono misurati 10645 eventi a due rami e le sezioni d’urto parziali sonoσ el=(7.2±0.1) mb, σpππ0=(2.8±0.1) mb, σπ π+ n=(3.9±0.1) mb. In ogni stato di carica la produzione di isobari è piccolissima. Gli spettri di massa ππ presentano una risonanza ρ predominante centrata a 750 MeV con un’ampiezza totale a metà massimo di ⋍130 MeV (σϱ=0.75 mb, σϱ 0=1.1 mb, perΔ 2⩽8µ 2, σϱ ϱ 0=1/2). Si ha un lieve indizio della presenza dell’f0f 0≲0.1 mb). Si tentano le prove usuali del meccanismo di scambio di un pione per le risonanze ρ. Si studiano in funzione dell’energia del π incidente le sezioni d’urto elastico ππ e le distribuzioni angolari. Infine si discute lo stretto picco nello spettro di massa (ππ+), nella regione di 780 MeV.
