Abstract: | The differential cross sections for γp→π+n from hydrogen and the ratios from deuterium were measured at nine c.m. angles between 30° and 150° for laboratory photon energies between 260 and 800 MeV. A magnetic spectrometer with three layers of scintillation hodoscope was used to detect charged π mesons. The cross section for γn→π?p was obtained as a product of and the ratio. The overall features in the cross sections of the two reactions, γp→π+n and γn→π?p, and in the ratios, , agree with predictions by Moorhouse, Oberlack and Rosenfeld, and Metcalf and Walker. An investigation of the possible existence of an isotensor current was made and a negative result was found. In detailed balance comparison with the new results on the inverse reaction π?p→γn, no apparent violation of time-reversal invariance was observed. |
