“…The We have analyzed the elastic scattering of pions (π ± ) from various nuclei 6 Li, 12 C, 40,44 Ca, 90 Zr and 118 Sn over the energy range of 163-500 MeV on the basis of strong absorption model (SAM) due to Frahn and Venter [1][2].The analyses of experimental data are carried out by a systematic variation of the SAM parameters based on the criterion of minimum root square difference between the experimental and theoretical crosssection. The obtained results of the SAM analysis rendering the best fit parameter values are presented in tables (1 and 2).…”
