Comparison of pion and photon induced reactions on complex nuclei
Abstract
The proton spectra from pion and photon induced reactions on 12C are found to be very similar in shape, and angular distribution. It appears that these protons arise from a common reaction mechanism (Δ production) for the two projectiles. Proton yields with pions and with photons are in approximately the same ratio as the total inelastic pion yield to the total photopion yield.
