The differential cross section for scattering of pions on deuterons was measured at LAMPF at laboratory momenta of 343, 441, 539, and 637 MeV/c, using an E-..delta..E method to identify the recoil deuterons. Angles ranged from 40/sup 0/ to 160/sup 0/ in the center of mass system. The momentum resolution was sigma = +- 3.5% and the angular resolution was +- 170/sup 0/ in the laboratory system. The experimental method is discussed, and results are presented and compared with other experimental data as well as with various theoretical calculations. |
