A note on the apparent inconsistency among measurements of threshold pion interactions

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The apparent inconsistency among threshold pion interactions is resolved by the use of extrapolation procedures for charge exchange and photoproduction amplitudes more in accord with theory than conventional linear extrapolations.

Riassunto

Si fa vedere che l’apparente inconsistenza tra interazioni di pioni a bassa energia può venire risolta se si fa uso di estrapolazioni suggerite dalla teoria per i processi di scambio carica e di fotoproduzione invece delle solite estrapolazioni lineari.
