Zusammenfassung:The ..pi../sup +/ production in 85A-MeV C+C and C+Au reactions has been studied for 20 MeV< or =E/sub ..pi../< or =80 MeV and theta/sub lab/>55/sup 0/. The cross sections, d/sup 2/sigma/d..cap omega.. dE, fall exponentially with E/sub ..pi../ and are 9 times larger for C+Au than for C+C. The angular distribution is backward peaked for C+Au in the nucleon-nucleon c.m. system, while it is weakly forward peaked in the nucleus-nucleus c.m. system. An independent nucleon-nucleon scattering model can explain the data only if diffuse internal momentum distributions are introduced.
