Abstract: (APS)
The 0° differential cross sections of (π+, π0) reactions on a series of nuclei to isobaric analog states were determined at 165, 230, and 295 MeV. For each energy, the A dependence is well described by a power law of the form σ=g(E)(N−Z)A−α(E), where α(E) is a decreasing function of energy. The 0° excitation functions peak around the (3,3) resonance energy for all nuclei except Zr90. A possible explanation in terms of neutron and proton densities is discussed.
