Search for dibaryon resonance signals in the π+-D excitation function at 180°

Abstract The π + -H and π + -D elastic scattering excitation function for θ π = 180° were measured between 130 and 280 MeV kinetic energy. The π + -D results show some evidence for a structure in the vicinity of 250 MeV which could be due to a dibaryon resonance formation.
