- Abstract
The folding-model optical potential is generalized in such a way as to apply it to calculating the cross sections for inelastic scattering of π -mesons on Si, Ca, Ni, and Pb nuclei at the energies of 162, 180, 226, and 291 MeV leading to the excitation of the 2 and 3 collective states. In doing this, use is made of known nucleon-density distributions in nuclei and the pion-nucleon scattering amplitude whose parameters were obtained previously by fitting the elastic scattering cross sections for the same nuclei. Thus, the values of quadrupole ( β ) and octupole ( β ) deformations of nuclei appear here as the only adjustable parameters. The scattering cross section is calculated by solving the relativistic wave equation, whereby effects of relativization and distortion in the entrance and exit scattering channels are taken exactly into account. The cross sections calculated in this way for inelastic scattering are in good agreement with respective experimental data. The importance of the inclusion of in-medium effects in choosing parameters of the pion-nucleon amplitude is emphasized.
