Abstract
The total pion-deuteron cross section depends upon the tensor polarization of the target nucleus. Estimates of the contributions of different mechanisms to this effect are presented and they all depend sensitively on the deuteron D-state wavefunction. At high energies the multiple scattering seems to be the most important, while in the resonance region the Fermi motion takes over. Meson-exchange current phenomena may be significant above 1 GeV/c.
