Two-pion production in deuteron-deuteron collisions at low energies

The cross section for the dd -> 4He pi pi reaction is estimated near threshold in a two-step model where a pion created in a first interaction produces a second pion in a subsequent interaction. This approach, which describes well the rates of 2pi and eta production in the pd -> 3He pi pi and dd -> 4He eta reactions, leads to predictions that are much too low compared to experiment. Alternatives to this and the double-Delta model will have to be sought to explain these data.

Spin and Isospin Effects in the NN -> NK Lambda Reaction Near Threshold

The spin and isospin structure of the amplitudes and observables for K+Lambda production in nucleon-nucleon collisions in the near-threshold region is analysed. It is shown that, with reasonable values for the relative strengths of the pi and rho terms in a meson-exchange model, one expects production on the neutron to be significantly stronger than that on the proton. Negative values of the spin-transfer coefficient D_NN are also predicted due to pi-rho interference.

Structure in two_pion production in the d d -> alpha X reaction

A model for the d d -> alpha pi pi reaction, based on two parallel N N -> d pi reactions, is extended to incorporate a complete set of input amplitudes. While low-energy cross sections are underestimated, the rich structure observed in the alpha-particle momentum distributions for 0.8 < T_d < 1.9 GeV (the ABC effect) is extraordinarily well reproduced. In addition, a recent measurement of deuteron analyzing powers agrees quite well with our predictions, both in frequency and magnitude of the oscillations.
