Abstract
Pionic disintegration of the deuteron between threshold and the 3,3 resonance region is described by a model containing one- and two-body absorption. The two-body absorption mechanism is due to pion and ρ{variant}-meson rescattering calculated from phenomenological Lagrangians. The role of the ρ{variant}-meson is crucial in reducing the cross section due to pion exchange. The role of the mass distribution of the ρ-meson, hadronic form factors and final state interactions are investigated. Good agreement with empirical results for the total cross section is obtained with a set of currently accepted values for the meson-nucleon coupling constants and the ρ-mass distribution.
