Abstract:
Experimental data on the pion-nucleus total cross sections are analysed in terms of the dual diffractive resonance (DDR) mechanism. The DDR predictions are found to agree well with the actual experimental data in the region corresponding to the Δ(1236) resonance in elementary πN scattering.
