Thomas, A.W.Afnan, I.R.2014-10-232014-10-231973Physics Letters B: Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics, 1973; 45(5):437-4400370-2693http://hdl.handle.net/2440/86590The solution of the Faddeev equation for the πNN system has been used as a model for studying pion absorption and elastic scattering on the deuteron. Results indicate that absorption is sensitive to the short range behaviour of the deuteron wave function. The contribution of absorption to the πd scattering length is found to be small.enCopyright © 1973Journal article003001041710.1016/0370-2693(73)90637-0A1973Q6727000082-s2.0-49549162620135764Thomas, A.W.
