Abstract

The elastic scattering of negative pions with a momentum of 5 GeV/{ital c} from {sup 4}He is analyzed using a single-scattering optical potential in a relativistic integral scattering equation. The potential is computed using several nuclear and nucleon form factors as well as both phase-shift and exponential representations of the pion-nucleon amplitude. Predicted scattering observables are compared with experiment. The effect on the calculated observables due to an increase of effective nucleon size is also shown.
