Abstract
This report describes the transitions pion -> meson_1 + meson_2 and also pion -> multi-pion for high energy pions interacting with target nuclei (Z,A). The physics interests are: A) Nuclear inelastic coherent diffraction cross sections for pions, for studies of size fluctuations in the pion wave function. B) Radiative widths of excited meson states, for tests of vector dominance and quark models. C) Experimental determination of the pi- + rho -> pi- + gamma total reaction rate for gamma production above 0.7 GeV, needed for background studies of quark-gluon plasma formation experiments. D) Investigation of the gamma ->3 pi vertex in pion pair production by a pion, for a significantly improved test of the hypothesis of chiral anomalies. The physics interest and associated bibliography are summarized here; with particular reference to the 200-600 GeV beams available at FNAL and CERN. Complementary GEANT simulations and trigger studies are needed.
