Abstract: (APS)
Absorption of negative pions on 1S0 proton pairs is studied in a model which treats the two nucleon final-state interactions (including isobar components, which simulate pion p-wave scattering) in an exact way, but leaves the third nucleon an inactive spectator. Pion s-wave rescattering is included by a phenomenological Hamiltonian. Otherwise the initial-state pions are considered undistorted. The influence of different proton pair wave functions, final-state interactions, and pion-nucleon vertex forms is studied. The experimentally observed asymmetry of the cross section about 90° is obtained only if a Galilean-invariant pion absorption operator is used. The final-state interaction is particularly important in the tensor coupled 3S1−3D1 states, with the final 3D1 state emerging as the dominant one. The normal polarization of outcoming protons is similar to the analyzing power in the reaction p→+n→(pp)Swave+π− and is very insensitive on any details of the dynamical input. Also the polarization correlation coefficients show relatively little dependence on the model being rather constrained by kinematics.
