Abstract: (APS)
By extending a coupled channels model which has proven successful in describing the reaction pp→π+d, we make predictions for charge symmetry breaking effects in the reaction np→dπ0. We find that nucleon and delta mass differences at vertices where pions are emitted or absorbed are important (as for np elastic scattering). However, η-π0 mixing is also important in pion production. We predict forward-backward asymmetries in the pion production differential cross section as large as 1% (for laboratory energies below 800 MeV). The asymmetries induced in polarization observables are small.
