Abstract
Production of ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{0}$(1232) resonances in $d$ + ${}^{12}$C collisions at 4.2$A$ GeV/$c$ was investigated with $4\ensuremath{\pi}$ acceptance, for the first time. The mass distribution of ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{0}$(1232) resonances produced in $d$ + ${}^{12}$C collisions was reconstructed and their mass and width were extracted. The kinematical distributions of ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{0}$(1232) were reconstructed in the laboratory frame and the corresponding mean kinematical characteristics were estimated. The fraction of charged \ensuremath{\pi}${}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ mesons coming from ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{0}$(1232) decay as well as the relative number of nucleons excited to ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{0}$(1232) in freeze-out conditions were estimated. The freeze-out temperature of ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{0}$(1232) was estimated and compared to results of other experiments with different sets of colliding nuclei and various incident energies.
