π+d→π+pn reaction as a test of relativistic Faddeev theories: Differential cross section

Three-fold differential cross sections \ensuremath{\sigma}(${\mathrm{theta}}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}$,${\mathrm{theta}}_{\mathrm{p}}$,${P}_{\mathrm{p}}$) have been measured in a kinematically complete experiment over a large region of phase space at 228 and 294 MeV incident pion energy. The data are compared with predictions from a relativistic Faddeev calculation. Excellent agreement is found over most of the phase space. From this good agreement between theory and experiment there appears to be no need for the inclusion of nonconventional dynamics, such as the excitation of dibaryon resonances.
