In order to study the direct interaction of the incident pion with a virtual pion in the meson cloud surrounding a nucleon, the reaction pi + p yields pi /sup +/ + pi /sup -/ + n was investigated in the energy range from 260 to 430 Mev. Negative pion beams impinged on a 4-in.thick liquid hydrogen target. Measurements were taken for pi /sup +/ mesons emitted at 60, 90, 125, and 160 deg in the barycentric system for incident pi /sup -/ kinetic energies of over the energy of the pi /sup +/meson at each angle to obtain the angular differential cross section.
