Abstract
An optical potential with a strong Ericson-Ericson-Lorentz-Lorenz parameter is used to calculate low-energy pion inelastic scattering to selected collective states and excited states in and . The nuclear structure input is carefully evaluated, and there are no free parameters in the calculation. The scattering to the states proceeds dominantly through the one-step mechanism, but the two-step mechanism is significant and can be used to extract some information about the form factors connecting excited states.
