Abstract: | The single-pion production reactions pp
d
, pp
np
and pp
pp
were measured at a beam momentum of 0.95GeV/c ( T
p
400 MeV) using the short version of the COSY-TOF spectrometer. The central calorimeter provided particle identification,
energy determination and neutron detection in addition to time-of-flight and angle measurements from other detector parts.
Thus all pion production channels were recorded with 1-4 overconstraints. The main emphasis is put on the presentation and
discussion of the np
channel, since the results on the other channels have already been published previously. The total and differential cross-sections
obtained are compared to theoretical calculations. In contrast to the pp
channel we observe in the np
channel a strong influence of the excitation. In particular, the pion angular distribution exhibits a (3 cos2
+ 1) -dependence, typical for a pure s -channel excitation and identical to that observed in the d
channel. Since the latter is understood by a s -channel resonance in the 1
D
2
pn partial wave, we discuss an analogous scenario for the pn
channel. |
