Pion transfer in gaseous hydrogen

The experiment consisted of stopping negative pions in a high pressure gas target to measure the transfer rate π-p → π-d in mixtures of H2, D2 and HD gas. The gamma rays from the decay of the π ⁰ in π -p → n + π ⁰ were detected in coincidence using two large sodium iodide crystals. The probability...
