  • 利用联合原子核研究所24立升丙烷气泡室照片,对动量为6.8GeV/cπ-介子与核子非弹性作用产生π0介子的问题进行了研究。扫描了约2700对立体照片。在宽度为29.3厘米的有效范围内得到了1275个π--N非弹性作用事例。在936个π--p事例和339个π--n事例中,观察到正电子、负电子对数目分别为240和89。考虑了气泡室对γ光子的探测效率,我们得到每个事例产生的平均π0介子数n(π0)=1.00±0.06。γ光子的平均横动量为p⊥γ=173MeV/c。此外,着重研究了γ光子的能量分布。在γ光子全部是由π0介子衰变产生以及π0介子和π±介子具有相同能谱的假设下,利用在相同入射粒子能量的π--N作用中所产生的次级π±介子能量分布变换成γ光子的能量分布;将本实验所得的γ光子能量分布和变换得到的分布进行比较,这两个分布在实验误差范围内完全符合。

     

    Using the 24-litre propane chamber, photographs from JINR π0-meson production in inelastic interactions of π--mesons of momentum 6.8 GeV/c with nucleons are examined. About 2700 pairs of stereoscopic pictures have been scanned and 1275 events of π--N inelastic interactions have been found in an effective region 29.3 cm wide. In these events, 936 π--p and 339 π--n events, 240 and 89 electron-positron pairs have been observed respectively. After taking account of the efficiency of the bubble chamber for detection of γ-photons, it is found that the mean number of π0 mesons produced per event is n(π0)=1.00±0.06 and the mean transverse momentum of the γ-photons is Pγ⊥ = 173 MeV/c. In addition, the energy distribution of the γ-photons is especially examined. Under the assumptions that the γ-photons are entirely due to π0 decays and that the energy spectrum of the π0 mesons is the same as that of the π± -mesons', an energy distribution of γ-photons can be deduced from the energy distribution of the secondary π±-mesons produced in π--N interactions at the same incident energy; the γ-photon energy distribution obtained in the present experiment is in agreement with this deduced distribution within experimental error.
