Charge exchange of stopped π⁻ in deuterium

By using a pair of large Nal spectrometers in a coincidence configuration we have observed the charge exchange of stopped π⁻ in deuterium π⁻ + d → 2n + π°. We have measured the branching ratio of this reaction [equation omitted] and find R = (1.45 ± 0.19) x 10⁻⁴. This measurement is the first o...
