Exclusive measurement of two-pion production in the reaction

Abstract: The results from the first kinematically complete measurement of the 4 He dd ππ → reaction are reported. The aim was to investigate a long standing puzzle regarding the origin of the peculiar ππ−invariant mass distributions appearing in double pion production in light ion collisions, the socalled ABC effect. The measurements were performed at the incident deuteron energies of 712 MeV and 1029 MeV, with the WASA detector assembly at CELSIUS in Uppsala, Sweden. We report the observation of a characteristic enhan… Show more

“…d 0 0 [6], pd ! 3 He [7] and dd 4 He [8] the first exclusive double-pionic fusion measurements of solid statistics carried out at CELSIUS/ WASA firmly established the presence of a pronounced low -mass enhancement. In addition, the first reaction showed a peculiar resonancelike behavior in the energy dependence of the total cross section [6]-indicative of a resonance in pn and ÁÁ systems at a mass roughly 90 MeV below 2m Á and a width much smaller than expected from the conventional t-channel ÁÁ excitation process.…”

“…Finally we note that meanwhile we also carried out exclusive and kinematically complete measurements of the double-pionic fusion to 3 He and 4 He. Again we observe huge low-mass enhancements in the M π 0 π 0 spectra [45,46,47]. This means that this resonance is obviously robust enough to survive even in the nuclear medium.…”

“…This is not unexpected if both are driven by the ∆∆ intermediate state. The ABC effect is seen also in pd → 3 He π 0 π 0 and, most spectacularly, in dd → 4 He π 0 π 0 [194,195]. However, in the dd case the cross section and deuteron tensor analyzing power have been described using conventional physics without the need for the d * (2380) [196].…”
