Download or read book New Vistas In Physics With High-energy Pion Beams - Preconference Workshop, Dnp Fall Meeting 1992 written by John B Mcclelland and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993-04-27 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workshop gives an overview of the physics opportunities that would be created by high-quality, intense pion beams with energies up to about 1 GeV. Topics explored include hypernuclear structure studies using the (π,K) reaction, hyperon-nucleon scattering including polarization, high-energy pion-nucleus reactions such as absorption and double charge exchange, baryon-resonance investigations, and decays of the π and h mesons. The present status of high-energy pion beamlines and instrumentation as well as new directions in the field were also discussed.
