Abstract / Description of output

The ABC effect - a puzzling low-mass enhancement in the pi pi invariant mass spectrum - is known from inclusive measurements of two-pion production in nuclear fusion reactions. Exclusive measurements conducted at CELSIUS-WASA for the fusion reactions leading to d and He-3 in the final state reveal the ABC effect to be of scalar-isoscalar nature and to be associated with the formation of a resonance in the pn Delta Delta systems in the intermediate state. The differential distributions for the pi(0)pi(0) channels can be well described, if a quasi-bound state within the AA system is assumed, which gives rise to a resonance structure in the total cross section. This ansatz is capable of describing all differential cross sections including the results of previous inclusive measurements on He-4 as well as the energy dependence of the total cross sections.
