Measurement of σABS and σCX of π+ on carbon by the Dual Use Experiment at TRIUMF (DUET)
Abstract
The DUET Collaboration reports on the measurements of the absorption (σABS) and charge exchange (σCX) cross sections of positively charged pions on carbon nuclei for the momentum range 201.6 to 295.1 MeV /c . The uncertainties on the absorption and charge exchange cross sections are ∼9.5 % and ∼18 % , respectively. The results are in good agreement with previous experiments. A covariance matrix correlating the five σABS and five σCX measured data points is also reported.
