description

Abstract We have extrapolated for low-energy pions ( T π = 0–50 MeV) the results for the pion-nucleus optical potential previously developed for pionic atoms. The evaluation is done using microscopic many-body techniques which allow us to separate the different contributions to the imaginary part of the potential and relate them to the different reaction channels: quasielastic and absorption. Elastic differential, reaction, absorption and quasielastic cross sections are evaluated for different nuclei and energies and contrasted with experiments. The agreement with data for the different channels, energies and nuclei is rather good with some isolated discrepancies.
