Neutron and proton knockout fromF19andAl27by negative pions

Abstract

Upper limits on the ratio of neutron to proton knockout to the (${2}^{+},T=1$) analog levels in $^{19}\mathrm{F}$ and $^{27}\mathrm{Al}$ by ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ at 200 MeV are consistent with the nucleon charge exchange model, as modified by nuclear structure considerations. In contrast, the impulse approximation and a semiclassical nucleon charge exchange model give ratios which are larger than the upper bounds. In comparing cross sections involving different final residual nuclei, it is important to consider the relative fragility of the daughter nuclei.NUCLEAR REACTIONS Ratios (${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}},{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}n$) to (${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}},{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}p+{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}n$) for (${2}^{+},T=1$) levels, $^{19}\mathrm{F}$ and $^{27}\mathrm{Al}$, ${T}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}=200$ MeV, detect deexcitation $\ensuremath{\gamma}'\mathrm{s}$.
