The combined cross section for absorption and charge exchange interactions of positively charged pions with carbon nuclei for the momentum range 200 MeV/c to 300 MeV/c have been measured with the DUET experiment at TRIUMF. The uncertainty is reduced by nearly half compared to previous experiments. This result will be a valuable input to existing models to constrain pion interactions with nuclei.

An emulsion spectrometer has been built and tested with pion beams in a 0.7 T magnetic field. A momentum resolution, Δ P / P =13%±1%, has been obtained for 5 and 10 GeV /c particles.
