Abstract: Results of a kinematically complete experiment on backward π[sup –]d quasielastic scattering by [sup 6]Li are presented. The experiment was carried out at the ITEP 3-m magnetic spectrometer with pion beams of momenta 0.72, 0.88, and 1.28GeV/c. The Fermi-motion parameters of a quasideuteron cluster and the effective number of quasideuterons in [sup 6]Li are determined for the [sup 6]Li(π[sup –],π[sup –]d)[sup 4]He reaction. These values agree well with the proton- and electron-beam measurements. The possibility of observation of the effects of deuteron wave-function modification in nuclear matter is discussed for this reaction. © 2001 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
