Resumen
Four terms in the pion-nucleus optical potential which arise from pion absorption with two nucleon emission are calculated using a model in which the nucleon is treated as a bound state of a pion and a nucleon. The contribution of these terms to the reaction cross section of carbon is considered. Two of the terms give rise to a negative reaction cross section, but it is shown that the sum of the four is positive definite. We find that the absorption reaction cross sections are very sensitive to the off-shell behavior of the free pion-nucleon T-matrix.
