Summary1
1. @PSI:
Analyzing powers 45 – 90 MeVR. Meier, M. Cröni et al.,Phys. Lett. B588 (2004) 155
p
Summary and outlook I
•No strong deviations from KH80 or SAID FA02.•Experimental data tend to be below predictions at the lowest energies.
Similar findings for @TRIUMF
J. D. Patterson et al., Phys. Rev. C66 (2002) 025207
p
πE3 channel: 40 – 80 MeV
• Of particular interest for isospin breaking
Summary2Summary and outlook II
2. SCX @PSI: Total SCX cross sectionsTransmission on CH2 and C in event mode (3.5 TB)
πM1 channel: 60 – 250 MeV, ~ 2% statistical error ~ 1 – 2% systematical error
Findings (preliminary):
•Confirms Bugg et al. data•About 3% above Friedman et al. data •Excellent agreement with SAID SM95/FA02•Below KH80 up to 170 MeV
•Analysis in progress
