Abstract

The absolute cross section for direct production of pions in electron- proton and in electron-deuteron collisions was measured by the detection of inelastically scattered electrons. Proton data were taken throughout the range of q/sup 2/ = 2.6 f/sup -//sup 2/ to q/sup 2/ = 10.75 f/sup -//sup 2/, and center- of-mass energy E = 1100 Mev to E = 1300 Mev. Data analysis was in terms of a neutron magnetic moment distribution. Comparison with available theory yields a neutron rms magnetic moment of 1 f, but better theorctical calculations may change this value somewhat. No theory for the electroproduction of pions from deuterons exists at present. The deuteron data are presented in terms of absolute cross sections as well as in terms of a deuteron-proton cross-section ratio. (auth)
