Total cross sections for the reaction π + d → pp have been measured for incident pion energies T π =26.5, 28.5, 30.5, 32.5 and 39.5 MeV. The data are in good agreement with previous experiments. There is some indication of a peculiarity in the energy dependence of the total cross section near incident pion energy T π =30 MeV.
