Abstract
We briefly review progress in the theory of pion nucleus scattering and reactions over the past two or three years. This begins with the realization that low and medium energy nuclear physics can no longer proceed without recognition of the underlying quark structure of the nucleons themselves. In particular, we review attempts to understand the structure of the nucleon, and the pion-nucleon interaction, within the framework of one model of quark confinement. Then we pass to the exciting progress in pion-few-nucleon systems, where great advances have been made in understanding so-called “effects of absorption”. Finally we turn to pion elastic scattering and reactions with real nuclei.
