Abstract

It is shown that the factorization approximation should not be used in any serious theoretical effort to calculate the first order optical potential for low energy π-nucleus scattering. In contrast to earlier work, the required off-shell πN t matrix for non-zero total momentum is consistently evaluated using relativistic particle quantum mechanics.
