Abstract

A cross-channel isospin analysis has been carried out on a prism plot separated sample of 3.9 GeV/c π+-p → π(Nπ) events. An enhancement is observed in the low (Nπ) invariant mass region for an I = 1 2 state of the Nπ system when the isospin for the cross channel is both IE = 0 and 1. These results and those of similar analyses at 8 and 16 GeV/c are compared with the predictions of a double-exchange model and good agreement is obtained. Neither interpretation of this phenomenon as a resonance nor as a consequence of diffraction dissociation in the usual definition, non-resonating single pomeron exchange, explains all the features of the results.
