Coherent Production of Pions
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the question of independent and coherent production of pions in high energy processes. A model for coherent production is suggested and the restrictions due to momentum conservation, charge conservation, and isospin conservation are dealt with in detail. A formalism for the isospin analysis of identical pions is developed and applied to coherent states. Results and consequences are discussed. Experimental examples are compared with the theoretical concepts and ideas.

Coherent two pion photoproduction on C
We develop the formalism for coherent two pion photoproduction in nuclei and perform actual calculations of cross sections for π−π+ and π0π0 photoproduction on 12C. We find that due to the isospin symmetry the cross section for π0π0 production is very small and has a maximum when the pions propagate together. However, the kinematical region where the energies and polar angles of the two π0 meso...

A relativistic and non-local model for the coherent photoproduction of pions on spin-zero nuclei is presented. The production operator is derived from an effective Lagrangian model that contains all the degrees of freedom known to contribute to the elementary process. Using the framework of DWIA, the matrix elements of this operator are evaluated using relativistic bound state wave functions. F...

متن کاملNC COHERENT π PRODUCTION IN THE MiniBooNE ANTINEUTRINO DATA
The single largest background to future ν̄μ → ν̄e (νμ → νe) oscillation searches is neutral current (NC) π production. MiniBooNE, which began taking antineutrino data in January 2006, has the world’s largest sample of reconstructed π’s produced by antineutrinos. These neutral pions are primarily produced through the ∆ resonance but can also be created through “coherent production.” The latter pro...
