Measurement of the cross sections for π+π− production in pp collisions at energies below 1 GeV
2007
The cross sections for the reaction pp → ppπ + π − are measured at several values of the incident-proton energy. The resulting values are compared with other results, including values obtained previously for a deuteriumtarget, as well as with the predictions of a theoreticalmodel. This comparison reveals that, at energies below 850 MeV, the use of the impulse approximation in extracting the cross sections for double pion production on a free nucleon from data obtained with deuteron targets is illegitimate.
