Abstract

We carry out a simultaneous calculation of all inclusive reactions in pion-nucleus scattering in the range Tπ = 85–350 MeV. The channels considered are, quasielastic, single charge exchange, double charge exchange and absorption. The method combines a microscopic calculation of the intrinsic probabilities for each reaction as a function of the nuclear density, followed by a computer simulation procedure in order to trace the fate of the pions through the different channels. Double, single and integrated differential cross sections for quasielastic and charge exchange reactions, as well as absorption cross sections are calculated. The agreement with experimental data for the different reactions, energies and nuclei is rather remarkable with some limitations enforced by the approximations used.
