Abstract
The total cross sections for pionic charge exchange on hydrogen were measured using a transmission technique on thin CH2 and C targets. Data were taken for Ïâ lab energies from 39 to 247 MeV with total errors of typically 2% over the Î-resonance and up to 10% at the lowest energies. Deviations from the predictions of the SAID phase shift analysis in the 60-80 MeV region are interpreted as evidence for isospin-symmetry breaking in the s-wave amplitudes. The charge dependence of the Î-resonance properties appears to be smaller than previously reported.
