In the scattering of positive pions by nuclei the double-charge-exchange (DCX) reaction creates the possibility of formation of pionic atom states in the vicinity of the threshold of this reaction. These quasi stationary states can manifest…
Different aspects of the Gribov--Glauber approach for calculation of inclusive pion double charge exchange (DCX) on nuclei are investigated. Recently we have shown that inelastic rescatterings (IR) with two (and more) pions in the…

In this letter we study the high energy behavior of the forward differential cross section for the $^{18}O(\pi^+,\pi^-)^{18}Ne$ double charge exchange reaction. We have evaluated the sequential and the meson exchange current mechanisms. The…
We have developed a model for the N N --> N N pi pi reaction and evaluated cross sections for the different charged channels. The low energy part of those channels where the pions can be in an isospin zero state is dominated by N*…
Tetraneutron ($^4n$) has come back in the limelight, because of recent observation of a candidate resonant state at RIBF. We propose to investigate the pion double charge exchange (DCX) reaction, i.e. $^4\mathrm{He}({\pi}^- , {\pi}^+)$, as…
The invariant mass spectra of the $pp\pi^-$ and $pp$ systems produced in the double charge exchange (DCX) of positively charged pions on photoemulsion are analysed. A pronounced peak is observed in the $pp\pi^-$ invariant mass spectrum,…
