The pion-nucleus resonance and nuclear translucence

We point out that the apparent transparency recently seen in several low-energy pion interactions with nuclei can be related to pion-nucleus bound states. This feature arises from a pion-nucleus resonance: the positive energy analog of such a bound state. Experiments for the further investigation of...

Summary:We point out that the apparent transparency recently seen in several low-energy pion interactions with nuclei can be related to pion-nucleus bound states. This feature arises from a pion-nucleus resonance: the positive energy analog of such a bound state. Experiments for the further investigation of this phenomenon are discussed.
