Phys. Rev. C 72, 037602 (2005) [4 pages]Inclusive pion double charge exchange on 16O above the Δ resonanceReceived 24 February 2005; published 22 September 2005 The forward inclusive pion double charge exchange reaction, 16O(π-,π+)X, at T0=0.50 and 0.75 GeV has been studied in the kinematic region where an additional pion production is forbidden by energy-momentum conservation. The experiment was performed with the SKS spectrometer at KEK PS. The measured ratio of double charge exchange cross-section for these energies 〈dσ(0.50 GeV)/dΩ〉/〈dσ(0.75 GeV)/dΩ〉=1.7±0.2, disagrees with the value of 7.2 predicted within the conventional sequential single charge exchange mechanism. Possible reasons for the disagreement are discussed in connection with the Glauber inelastic rescatterings. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
