It was shown that in the resulting expression for Ig^o, the term involving B was negligibly small, while the ratio of the coefficient of 0 to that of A was approximately 1/^. Thus the data were essentially a measure of CT total. Since the ratio was not exactly at all energies, a d value had to be assumed for /A, i.e. for the shape of the angular distribution. But the results were claimed to be insensitive to this value. Thus changing this ratio from-0*6 to-1*0 altered ^ total by only 10% at 240 MeV, and by successively smaller percentages at the lower energies. These authors also measured the absolute differential cross-section at 135^, and combined it with the total cross-section data to obtain values of A, B and C. Goldschmidt-Glermont*s results consisted of angular distribution for meson centre-of-mass angles varying between 4 5^ and 160^, for energy bands centred at 220, 260 and 305 MeV; and also total cross-sections between 175 and 325 MeV, obtained by extrapolating the measured angular distribution, assuming no higher power of Cos 0 than the second. I Oakley, Walker and Corson et. al s. experiments which were both done at Cal. Tech., using the same machine, and the same beam calibration, covered the photon energy range 240-480 MeV, but were mutually supplementary. The formers*, data were restricted to pion centre-of-mass angles greater than 7 0^ (7 0^-153^) owing to the higher value for the minimum detectable proton energy. Self-absorption in the target and counters set this low energy limit at about 25 MeV
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
