Abstract: 

Production mechanisms for subthreshold pions in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied on a microscopic level. The non-relativistic expansion of the pseudoscalar πNN-vertex provides a basis for the construction of several two-nucleon models. These are incorporated into a dynamical description of the heavy-ion collision by boosted harmonic oscillators that adopts essential features from TDHF. The approach allows for a separate analysis of the various production processes and the influence of the collision dynamics on the total pion yield. Results are presented for the system¹⁶O +¹⁶O at laboratory energies of 40 and 80 MeV per nucleon.
