Abstract: (Springer)
The Ericson-Ericson optical potential for theπ-nucleuss-wave interaction was extended to be applicable also for light nuclei. In particular, terms of order A−1 were evaluated and the (π2N) dispersion was considered. From comparison with experimental data we found that considerable improvement could be achieved by introducing terms of order A−1. The (π2N) dispersion was found to be repulsive and of the same magnitude as the absorption. The (πN) scattering lengths were deduced to be α3−α1=0.258±0.008mπ−1 and α1+2α3=−0.018±0.008mπ−1.
