Pion-nucleus inelastic scattering at 80 MeV

Abstract
80 MeV positive and negative pions inelastically scattered from targets of C12 and Ca40 have been studied at laboratory angles between 50° and 120°. Angular distributions are presented for scattering from the 4.44 MeV (2+) state in C12, the 3.7 MeV (3), 13.4 MeV, and 17.5 MeV states in Ca40. The cross sections are compared with distorted wave calculations using potentials obtained from elastic scattering.
