Abstract

We have measured pion inelastic scattering from ${}^{20}{Ne}$ with 180 MeV $π^{+}$ and $π^{-}$ at 12° and from 15° to 90° in 5° steps and with 120 MeV $π^{+}$ from 15° to 90° in 5° steps. We report here on states in the first four $K^{π}$ = $0^{+}$ bands, including the 6.73MeV $0^{+}$ and the 8.78-MeV ${}^{6 +}$ levels. Coupled-channels processes are shown to be important for many states.
