The two-pion production in pp-collisions has been investigated in exclusive measurements from threshold up to Tp = 1.36 GeV . Total and differential cross sections have been obtained for the channels pnπ+π0, ppπ+π-, ppπ0π0 and also nnπ+π+. For intermediate incident energies Tp > 1 GeV , i.e. in the region, which is beyond the Roper excitation but at the onset of ΔΔ excitation the total ppπ0π0 cross section falls behind theoretical predictions by as much as an order of magnitude near 1.2 GeV, whereas the nnπ+π+ cross section is a factor of five larger than predicted. A model-unconstrained isospin decompostion of the cross section points to a significant contribution of an isospin 3/2 resonance other than the Δ(1232). As a possible candidate the Δ(1600) is discussed.

The results of an extensive campaign of measurements of the π→ππ process in the nucleon and nuclei at intermediate energies are presented. Several differential cross-sections were measured following the detection of multiparticle (π+,π+π±) and (π+,π+π-p) events, which allowed to understand the general properties of the pion production reaction inside the nucleus. Particular attention was devoted to the study of the effects of nuclear matter on the π-π scalar-isoscalar system. The most relevant results are reviewed and compared to theories as well as to other recent experimental results.
