We show that the neutron and proton transition densities predicted by recent Quantum Monte Carlo calculations for A = 6, 7 nuclei are consistent with pion scattering from 6 Li and 7 Li at energies near the ∆ resonance. This has provided a microscopic understanding of the enhancement factors for quadrupole excitations, which were needed to describe pion inelastic scattering within the nuclear shell model of Cohen and Kurath.PACS numbers: 21.60.
