Intermediate Energy Pion-Ne-20 Elastic Scattering in the alpha+O-16 Model of Ne-20

We present an analysis of pi-Ne-20 elastic scattering at intermediate energy basing on the alpha+O-16 model of the Ne-20 nucleus and in the framework of Glauber multiple scattering theory. Satisfactory agreement with the general features of the experimental data of pion elastic scattering on the neighboring 4N-type nuclei is obtained without any free parameters. Compared with the experimental angular distributions of pion elastic scattering on C-12, O-16, Mg-24, and Si-28 nuclei, the diffractive patterns and the positions of the dips and peaks in the angular distributions of pi-Ne-20 elastic scattering are reasonably predicted by the calculations.
