Popis: We have determined the pion charge exchange cross section on hydrogen for π ° mesons emitted at 180° by measuring neutron time-of-flight. Using known values of the p-wave phase shifts we have deduced the contribution of the s-wave. We obtain a value for the quantity a 1 − a 3 (in h = c = m =1 units where m is the pion mass) =0.270±0.014 in agreement within the errors with recent theoretical calculations. We also find a value of 114±55 μb / sr for the cross section in the center of mass system for radiative pion capture at 22.6 MeV (gamma ray emitted at 180°).
