Abstract

Abstract Charged-pion photoproduction spectra on hydrogen and deuterium have been measured using an in-flight positron annihilation photon beam. Pions were detected in magnetic spectrometers. The experiment consisted of π ± angular distributions at 300 MeV, and fixed-angle excitation curves at 20° ( π ± ) and 55° ( π ± ) in the photon energy range 300–460 MeV. Experimental data are compared to a calculation by Laget which includes final-state nucleon-nucleon interaction and Pauli correlations. The overall agreement is satisfactory; however, the model slightly overestimates the nucleon-nucleon rescattering contribution.
