Abstract.

π-4He interactions at 106MeV, with two secondary charged particles in the final state, have been studied using a self-shunted streamer chamber in a 0.65T magnetic field and equipped with two CCD videocameras for obtaining digitized stereo-images of nuclear events occurring within the fiducial volume of the streamer chamber. Branching ratios for the various interaction channels are deduced. Evidence is presented for a reaction channel involving a γ produced in the final state, as well as for the first observation of direct Δ- -resonance production. Cross-section distributions for the elastic and quasi-elastic interaction channels are also reported.
