Data obtained with 30 cm long target.
Data from E.Zavattini, Proc. Conf. on Nuclear and Particle Physics at Intermediate Energies with Hadrons, Miramare ( Trieste), 1985, eds. T.Bressani and G.Pauli ( Italian Physical Socirty, Bologna, 1986) p.241. Data obtained with 1.27*1.27*7.62 cm**3 target.
A simple, large-solid-angle apparatus, specially suited for the measurement of backward elastic scattering of medium-energy pions on protons and deuterons, is described. The method of analysis which reduces background and determines elastic events from a data sample of 185 MeV negative pions incident on a D 2 O target is discussed. Results for 141 MeV π + p and 185 MeV π − p backward cross-sections are also presented and compared with cross-sections calculated from known phase shifts.
