The total cross section of the 4He(π+,π-) reaction was measured for π+ kinetic energies ranging from 70 to 130 MeV using the CHAOS spectrometer at TRIUMF and a liquid 4He target. Around Tπ=90MeV, total cross sections exceed conventional model predictions by a factor of 3, whereas at Tπ=70MeV and for Tπ>130MeV the data are consistent with these calculations. An attempt is made to understand this behavior by assuming the production of the hypothetical d′ dibaryon.

Abstract
The total cross section of the 4He(π+,π-) reaction was measured for π+ kinetic energies ranging from 70 to 130 MeV using the CHAOS spectrometer at TRIUMF and a liquid 4He target. Around Tπ=90MeV, total cross sections exceed conventional model predictions by a factor of 3, whereas at Tπ=70MeV and for Tπ>130MeV the data are consistent with these calculations. An attempt is made to understand this behavior by assuming the production of the hypothetical d′ dibaryon.File in questo prodotto:
