Abstract

This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental advances in high-energy proton-nucleus scattering. The basic literature search was completed in January 1980, however some more recent publications are included in the reference list. Theoretical issues are discussed first in Sections 2 through 5 and an appendix. In these sections, the emphasis has been placed on developing new points of view, in particular, by considering the role of isobars in proton scattering. Also, some recent advances in multiple scattering theory regarding the role of nucleon-nucleon amplitudes are reviewed. The reader whose interest is mainly in the experiments and their interpretation may wish to start at Section 6 with the survey of new nucleon-nucleon amplitude parameters or at Section 7 with the review of recent interpretations of experimental data.
