PION-18O INELASTIC SCATTERING

In the framework of the eikonal form of DWIA and using the transition densitymethod, the differential cross sections for ¹³O (π,π') .¹⁸O^* (2⁺, 1.98 MeV) inelasticscattering at T_π=230 MeV are calculated. The ratios of the integrated cross sectionsfor π^- vs. π⁺ bombardments, are analyzed and the effects of changing the neutron radiusto the differential cross sections are studied as well. Our results fit the data quite well.
