Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lecture notes are presented on the following: (1) basic aspects of .pi. N interactions (properties of pions and nucleons, SU(3) and SU(6) classification phenomenology of .pi. N scattering ((3.3) resonance; phase shift analysis, and bag model approach to .pi. N); (2) pion production and absorption in the two nucleon system (NN .-->. NN.pi. (isobar model) and .pi.d reversible NN (existence of dibaryon resonances)); (3) pion absorption in complex nuclei (multiparticle aspects and cascade calculations); and (4) pion production with nuclear targets including (a) nucleon-nucleus, (b) nucleus-nucleus (Fermi-averaged 2-body vs thermodynamic models), and (c) .pi pi. interoferometry.
