The total crosssection on carbon was (383 plus or minus 20) mb of which (89 plus or minus 12) mb corresponded to elastic scattering. A description of the events with re-emission of a pi - is made. The diffraction scattering angular distribution and the total cross section obtained were described by an optical model using an imaginary gaussian potential; the rms radius of this potential obtained was 3.0 x 10/sup -13/ cm, which is considerably greater than the corresponding radius obtained for the electric charge distribution.
