Abstract

We calculate energy spectra and angular distributions of single and correlated spectra after the absorption of stopped pions in nuclei. We assume: The pion is abosrbed by a pair of nucleons; these primary nucleons may leave the nucleus directly or only after one or more collisions with other nucleons. We propose a multiple scattering expansion for the intranuclear cascade after pion absorption. Various experimental data are successfully described in shape and absolute magnitude. The ratio R np = R ( π − np → nn)/ R ( π − pp → np) is determined from the experimental proton spectra: R np = 13 ± 6.
