Abstract
Elastic scattering of 60-Mev -mesons on carbon is analyzed to determine the following qualitative features of elementary -nucleon scattering at this energy: -wave scattering is predominant, with some -wave interference at a relative phase that favors backscattering. The rather crude interpretation does not indicate -wave scattering. Spin flip scattering is essentially absent from the scattering. The Coulomb interference provides an absolute calibration, from which it is inferred that the -wave "resonance" energy lies above 60 Mev.
