Abstract
Coherent nuclear production processes are generally analyzed assuming helicity conserving production amplitudes. In view of the uncertainties of the actual helicity structure this could be a dangerous assumption. We show that helicity-flip contributions might be part of the explanation of the small effective (p ππ)-nucleon cross sections observed in coherent production.
