Measurements of NN → dπ very near threshold. (I). The np → dπ0 cross section

Nuclear Physics, Section A, Volume 535, No. 3-4, Year 1991

We have measured cross sections for the reaction np→dπ0 at beam energies very near the pion-production threshold. The yield near threshold is 23% lower than the previously accepted value based on π+d→pp data. P-wave pion production was observed at energies as low as 1.5 MeV (c.m.) above threshold. There was no evidence of narrow πNN resonances in the energy range surveyed - 275 to 291 MeV, corresponding to pion c.m. momenta between 2 and 43 MeV/c. © 1991.
