Introduction• Study of np reaction is important important

to obtain the contribution of isoscalar (I=0) partial waves to the inelastic np collision.

• Study of reactions with single and double pion production in the np collisions at different energies is important for the determination both of the energy dependences of the total np cross section and the contribution of inelastic channels to np interactions.V.V.Sarantsev et. All Eur. Phys.J. A 43, (2010)

Experimental data for np→npπ+π- at 1.73 and 2.23 GeV/c

OPE – one pion exchange, OBE – one baryon exchange

The OPER model, developed in ITEP, was chosen to study the reaction mechanisms. [L.Ponomarev. Part. and Nucl., v.7(1), pp. 186-248, 1976, JINR, Dubna].

Part II : Event identification

In order to perform particle identification following cuts are applied in the analysis:

1. PID cuts for single particle : p, π- , π+

beta vs momenta dE/dx in MDC(inner & outer)2. Cut on momentum of Proton-spectator 1.6GeV/c<Psp<2.6GeV/c

Analysis is performed using the PAT framework. Beta is reconstructed using particle hypotheses.

Summary

• Single track Efficiency and Acceptence matrices

for d, p, π+, π- are obtained.

• The preliminary results for the np→npπ+π- reactions

at 1.25 GeV corrected by the efficiency are obtained.

• OPER model prediction for the np→npπ+π- reaction shows the reasonable agreement with experimental data.
