Spin effects in π+‐6Li↘ and π+‐7Li↘ scattering

Vector and tensor analyzing powers were measured for π+‐6Li↘ and π+‐7Li↘scattering in the angular range between 50° and 110° at several pion energies in the region of the Δ(3,3) resonance. The data are compared to predictions from a coupled channel model. Within this model the sensitivity to variations of the nuclear structure input and the reaction mechanism are investigated.
