A 1 cm thick liquid hydrogen target was used, with an identical empty cell for background determination. These studies included the $pp\to d\pi\sp+$ reaction for verification of the cross section normalization. Measurements extended to pion momenta as low as 80 MeV/c. Experimental cross sections are compared with a final state interaction model prediction and the contribution of the $\sigma\sb{11}$ term. The analyzing powers closely follow those of the $pp\to d\pi\sp+$ reaction at the same centre of mass momentum and energy. en_US dc.format.extent 5947600 bytes dc.format.extent 184 bytes dc.format.mimetype application/pdf dc.format.mimetype text/plain dc.language.iso eng en_US dc.rights info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess dc.title Inclusive measurements of the pp->pn[pi]S+ reaction at 420 and 500 MeV en_US dc.type info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesis dc.type master thesis en_US dc.degree.discipline Physics and Astronomy en_US dc.degree.level Master of Science (M.Sc.) en_US
