Meson Exchange Currents in Pion Double Charge Exchange at High Energies

Nuclear Theory 2011-02-09 v3

Abstract

In this letter we study the high energy behavior of the forward differential cross section for the 18O(π+,π)18Ne^{18}O(\pi^+,\pi^-)^{18}Ne double charge exchange reaction. We have evaluated the sequential and the meson exchange current mechanisms. The meson exchange current contribution shows a very weak energy dependence and becomes relevant at incident pion kinetic energies above 600 MeV.
