Comprehensive Calculations of the (π+,K+) Reaction onC12

Abstract

The results of comprehensive distorted-wave impulse-approximation calculations are presented for the reaction ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}({\pi }^{+},K^{+}){}_{\Lambda }{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ and compared to recent experimental data. The calculation includes scattering from bound states and resonances plus quasifree scattering in one consistent formalism. The features of the data are reproduced by the calculation, and these features are identified with underlying shell-model configurations.
