Study of the Reaction D(p, π+)T at Tp=410, 605, and 809 MeV

Abstract

Pion production on a C${\mathrm{D}}_2$ target has been measured using the high-resolution magnetic spectrometer SPES I. Differential cross sections for the reaction $\mathrm{D}(p, {\pi }^{+})\mathrm{T}$ have been determed at $T_p=410, 605, \mathrm{and} 809$ MeV. The present data, together with previous results establish a complete angular distribution of the reaction $\mathrm{D}(p, {\pi }^{+})\mathrm{T}$ at ∼ 600 MeV and the energy dependence of the differential cross section for this reaction at several constant momentum transfers.
