The Interactions Between π-Mesons and Nucleons

Abstract

During the some seven years which have elapsed since the first observation of artificially produced π -mesons at Berkeley, we have seen a very rapid development of elementary particle physics. There are now at least a dozen accelerators capable of producing π-mesons, including several which have created or are expected to create heavier particles. As a result of the work done with these machines, it is perhaps fair to say that we have at least a qualitative knowledge of the elementary interactions of mesons with nucleons at low energies.
